I’ve been absent for a while on here but now is the time for an update. Last December my 6 year old daughter was admitted to RMCH and diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancerous brain tumour. She endured x4 major brain operations, one of which was a bleed to the brain. She’s had countless doses of chemotherapy and also 33 doses of radiotherapy. The the odds of it working were very low!! She was in hospital from Dec to Jun and yes Covid-19 made things ridiculously hard. A few weeks ago she went in for a scan and I’m hugely proud to say that to everyone’s amazement the scan showed ‘no definitive evidence of residual or recurrent disease’. I tell you this to mainly celebrate my daughter and give inspiration to others. She’s done something I don’t believe many adults could achieve ... she ‘lived’ through cancer. She smiled every day, she didn’t stop being positive, she never gave in (even when at one point she couldn’t move or talk). I didn’t hear her moan once, not once!!! Take some perspective from this, and as my favourite quote says “everything will be ok in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end”. Please share and hopefully this will reach someone who needs it. #cancer #perspective #inspiration
