My daughters brain tumor

Hi Karen,

I am a fellow brain tumour patient, although a lot older than Stevie (43).  I only lost the front half of my hair (from crown forwards) and although I bought a beautiful wig - better than my own hair - I understand how crushing it is.  I know others see it as a very small part of the big picture....but its been the worst part of my treatment so far.  I had RT in March 2009 and although most of the hair has regrown, the bit above my tumour location (right frontal lobe) is VERY sparse and it grows so bloomin slow.

I no longer wear hats, but wide fabric headbands - I know look like an aging Bon Jovi fan!  I also suffer from very bad short term memory problems.

I wish you all the luck in the world with Stevie's battle against this awful disease.

Debs xx

Hi Karen,

Im sorry to hear your young daughter has a Brain tumor. But I think the consultant not wanting to see her for 3 months is a good sign. Debs would be in a better position to answer that than me. She has been through hell and back to where she is today.

My thoughts are with Stevie and yourself. All the Best and Good Luck.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Thanks Debs hope your doing ok Stevie also has memory problems but we try to make a joke of it. She has just had her hair cut in to a very short bob and I think she looks gorgeous.

I think you look better than any aging Bon Jovi fans that I have seen.

Take care xx

Hi Sarsfield thanks for your lovely comments, as a mum I know what you must be going through, all we can do is be strong and be there for them every step of the way. I hope everything works out fine for you and Debs.

Hugs and Kisses xx
