Holly Brown is a 31-year-old housewife, living with her family at Clacton-on-Sea, Essex (UK).She has 4 children, including a 5 -year -old daughter named Olivia.Holly always thinks that Olivia is most active and very healthy, so when she has the initial signs of brain cancer, she was subjective.
5 -year -old Olivia suddenly discovered brain cancer after a sunset forever
Specifically, Olivia was stunned and vomited at the end of May this year.“It was a sunny day, she played outdoors so I thought it was sunny.I let him drink water, apply cold compresses and rest in the room.At night, she was completely helped, happily running and jumping so I was not too much to mind ” -Holly recounted.
However, the next afternoon Olivia continued vomiting and fatigue.Holly thinks that Olivia is still not well out, so he has a heat stroke.She continued to take care of her daughter but did not know there was a horrible cancer hiding.
Even when taking the drug as prescribed by the family doctor, the Olivia condition does not get better.Seeing that the child was constantly vomiting, headache and exhaustion that he could not stand by himself, Holly decided to temporarily put aside his work to take him to a large hospital.
Here, the doctor discovered that the girl had a dangerous brain tumor that clogged the cerebrospinal fluid, needing urgent surgery to keep her life.Even Olivia's tumor is in a special position, cannot be completely removed and has begun to spread.
The mother regretted ignoring 3 signs of brain cancer
When receiving the diagnostic result from the doctor, Holly was so shocked and depressed that he was hospitalized.However, as a mother and was taking care of 4 children at the same time, she quickly regained her spirit, ran back and forth between the house and the hospital from the next morning.
Holly recounted:“I thought she was only sick, but they said it was a third nerve tumor - a type of tumor growing in the cerebellum in the back of the brain, the area responsible for balance and movement.
In just a few days, she constantly underwent 2 great surgery.The result can only be removed 95% of the tumor, the remaining 5% is too close to the brain so it cannot be removed without causing damage.Moreover, the doctor announced that the malignant tumor metastasized to the spine at the time of being discovered.I was shocked and extremely painful, feeling like my subjectivity had missed her treatment time when she was discovered late. ”
The treating doctor said that Olivia suffered from nerve tumors - a type of brain tumor that often affects children and affects the ability to exercise and balance.This is also a rare type of brain cancer that often affects children, especially 3-8 years old.The disease is also difficult to detect early due to unclear symptoms, easily confused with fatigue or petty disease.While young children are difficult to describe their discomfort clearly.
There are 3 abnormal signs that the Holly mother has missed, which are also common early symptoms in the nerve cells:
- Nausea and persistent vomiting for unknown reasons:This condition persists, though there is no sign of poisoning or common diseases.Note more often in the morning or after postpone changes.
