A former patient of the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (RHCYP) in Edinburgh has spoken of how surgery to remove a brain tumour left her without childhood memories.
Tragically Weronika Fafinska has said that the cancer has now returned but that it is not at a size where surgeons are prepared to operate on it. The cancer has returned seven years after she had surgery to remove most of the initial tumour in February 2014.
In 2012, when she was just 12-years-old, Weronika was unable to hear out of her right ear and was taken for an MRI at the RHCYP. She was told at age 14 by doctors that she had a grade two brain tumour - diffuse astrocytoma.
