Initially, the family were told to go home and wait for the results to come through but when they got in the car they were called back by the consultant. He ushered them into the family room and told them that Molly had a brain tumour and needed to be transferred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital for surgery. Molly’s first operation was held just 48 hours later.
“Molly’s tumour was nearly a quarter of the size of her brain, and its growth not only had asignificant impact on her optic nerve but was dangerously close to her brain stem, making it difficult to remove. If we had not discovered it sooner, the impact on her may have been catastrophic.” Molly underwent several procedures over the course of two months to remove the tumour and is now considered tumour free.
