Dennis Diekmeier’s daughter Delani has cancer. His wife Dana gives an update about the child’s health – with bad news.
The former Bundesliga professional Dennis Diekmeier and his wife Dana continue to worry about the life of her eldest daughter Delani. A malignant tumor on the kidney was found and removed at the beginning of the year. However, this had scattered in the lungs.
Delani has been going through two chemotherapy since then. However, without success, as Dana Diekmeier now announced. “Unfortunately, the forecasts and the prospects are not as rosy as we wanted and hoped for,” said the 40-year-old in an emotional video statement on Instagram. “Unfortunately, the second chemo, which you tried at Delani a few weeks ago, is unfortunately not struck.”
The result: immunotherapy is now being tried with her daughter, says Dana Diekmeier. “So the chance of healing disappears a little more every time,” she said.
The family’s state of health is currently very busy. A lot of time has been needed to process everything in the past few weeks, but it is still good things that a miracle would happen. “As you told us last week: we need a miracle. And miracles, miracles happen. Delani is a miracle. And I also believe that it happens. It has to happen,” said Dana Diekmeier.
The four -fold mother continued to start in the coming week. She said about Delani: “She fights and fights. We don’t give up hope, Delani does not give up. Delani is strong, even if you have to put on setbacks again and again and have to cope with bad news again and again.”
According to Dana Diekmeier, the doctors are “relentlessly honest”, but that could also be good. You also want to know what it’s about. Delani is always “very brave.” The family cried a lot in the processing process in the past few weeks. It was also talked about a “non -positive outcome”.
However, the family is currently on vacation, Delani has “a few days of hospital free”. Then the immunotherapy starts. “We hope and pray and hope and hope and hope – and keep your fingers crossed that everything just gets going somehow and then it still works and these stupid metastases finally get off the field and not increasingly multiply.”
