Olivia's Diagnosis and Treatment Journey
When Olivia, 5, fell ill, her mum thought it was the weather, not cancer. Olivia was diagnosed with grade 3 medulloblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumour in children. Her future is uncertain, as test results are awaited in early December.
A Heartbreaking Decision
Olivia's mum faced the tough choice between chemotherapy with a 30% survival rate or combining it with radiotherapy for a 50% chance, but with risks of future learning difficulties. She opted for the latter, hoping for positive updates on December 4.
Grave News and Gruelling Treatment
Olivia's cancer had spread to her spine, leading to an emotional journey of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Her mum struggled to explain the situation to Olivia and her siblings, hoping for the best while facing the unknown.
Hope for Christmas
Despite the challenges, Olivia's family is fundraising to create a special Christmas for her at home. They aim to transform their house into a Santa's Grotto to make precious memories for Olivia and her siblings.
