A brain tumour patient has had her first book published at the age of nine. Out Of The Woods by Betsy Griffin was released through HarperCollins this month and contains powerful lessons about positivity, kindness and hope.
Betsy was just two when she was diagnosed with a low-grade optic nerve glioma. The diagnosis came after she developing nystagmus, a condition that causes involuntary eye movements.
The youngster, who is now blind, went through 18 months of chemotherapy before having a biopsy. She remains on targeted treatment today and requires lifelong hormone replacements.
