recently i have found out that, my cousin baby daughter who is 2 years old 2moro, has a brain tumor or had one should i sauy (hopefully) she had to undergo a 6 hour operation on saturday! ANd she is still in intensive care!
i just hope she pulls through!

Why do these things have to happen to those who havent lived their life! its not fair!

My thoughts are withyou, I hope she makes a full recovery.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your cousin's daughter.

I'm sure she'll pull through and make a speedy recovery. These things happen to the best people because they're the people who can cope with it. I'm sure her youth will be of an advantage for the healing process.

God bless.

Edit to add: meanwhile, be there for your cousin. She'll be going through a worse time than her daughter as she has all the worry on her mind. She'll need someone there for her.

Aww bless her xx
Sending her, you and the rest of your family a virtual hug ((((((((HUG))))))) xx

thanxs evryone! i appreciate it all!

I watched a program where this boy had half his brain removed, he recovered and is totaly fine now. It's amazing what children can recover from.

Kimmie,

My friend's daughter had a brain tumour at the age of 2. She had to go to America for treatment, but is now, 13 years later, doing very well and leads a normal life. My thoughts are with you and the family, and please feel free to PM me if you need any support or advice.

Bless her little heart !!

My thoughts are with you and all her family, send her a BIG hug from me.

hiya just to let you all know, she is out of intensive care, and on a normal ward now! she laughed at them all yesterday so mum and dad are over the moon! We have been told that its just a matter of time to see if she has brain damage or anything! but its positive that she is going ot be fine!

That's brilliant news Kimmie !!

thanks angelb its cheered me up and pu tmy mind at rest!

Sounds like she is a little fighter, it must be such a relief :thumbsup:

yea it is, the doctors have said that she is a fighter and very good at it, shes very strong! thank god! me and my nan have been praying for her every night!

I should imagine everyone that has read your thread will be doing the same

Be thankful she was diagnosed and treated in time.I read this week of a little boy who was taken 8 times to Drs/Hospital over a 7 month period with all the symptons of a brain tumour,ie.. violent headaches,dizziness,vomiting, loss of appetite,weight loss etc. He was sent home each time with advice,treatment for either migraine,tummy bug,eating disorder.It was even suggested he saw a psychiatrist for behavioural problems!This went on for several months until his Mum insisted on a brain scan.She was told there was a 3 months waiting time! She managed to get him a scan sooner,but to no avail. It was too late. He had a brain tumour,but the operation revealed it had spread down his brain stem to his spine.He died 5 weeks later.He was 6 years old.We can only guess at the suffering that little boy endured.It makes me cringe. He was a lovely child, and my heart goes out to the family,and all of you who are going thru similar experiences.<See Daily Mail. Sat Sept 9th>

my thorts are wirh u hun

Thanks for some good news after reading the begining of the thread I put a little extra on my prayers for your cousin's daughter .

Good to hear she's ok, you know where i am if you need to chat hun xxx

hello, she got sent home but has been rushed back into hospital again, she has cancer, her stomach was deteriorating, we are not sure at the minute if she is going to get better!
Just a matter of waiting now!

I'm so sorry to hear that Kimmie, but she is such a little fighter and if anyone can come through this she can.

My thoughts are with you and all her family.

thankyou i appreciate it

Kimmie,
I am so sorry. I will certainly be praying for your little one and your family. I can't think of anything worse to happen to a family.

God bless x

thankyou for your prayers and thoughts!

Kimmie- I hope everything works out the way it's meant to- cancer isn't always the end of the world that people think it is, and treatments have been improved so much over the last few years. I have my fingers crossed for your whole family.

I'm so sorry to hear this my thoughts are with you and all others concerned:)

My thoughts are with the little lass kimmie.

Kimmie, my thoughts are with you and your family, most especially your cousin and her little one. Your cousin will need the strengh from all around her and I hope you can get some of your strength from the people around you here on the forum. *big hugs*

hey everyone, she is out of hospital and starts chemo on friday!

she has been calling my grandad a monkey so she seems to be fine in herself!

all your prayers must have helped her! thankyou everybody!

My brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 3 and he's almost 16 now.

It's not been easy and he's had a lot of treatments, but with the love of family and friends he's now doing well.

My thoughts are with you, your cousin and the rest of your family.

I'd also recommend you speak to PACT, there website is:

They were an absolute GODSEND.

Good luck for the future.

<hugs>

awwww thats awful bless:( .hope she pulls through and hope everything works out fine for ur little cousin .
keep us informed on her progress.

all the best xx

Kimmie.. By the sounds of things, she's a little fighter, and also, she has her loving family around her to give her strength when she has none..
It's not going to be an easy ride for her or any of your family, I know as my dad went through chemo, it was tough..But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and in a few years time, when she's running round being a little monkey herself, you'll somehow forget, just for a moment, what she and your family have gone through..
Sending more virtual hugs to you and your family (((((((HUGS)))))))

My thoughts are with you all. Pleased the op went ok and that she continues to get better and is ablr to live life to the full

That's fantastic news Kimmie !!! :bigsmile:

She is such a littler fighter, she deserves every happiness in the world, after what she has been through.

Send her a massive HUG & KISS from me :love:
