Help Shyanne recover from surgery
Donation protected
Hello everyone. My name is Brittney. My sister, Shyanne, is the funny, sweet, loving, caring sister to 3 big brothers, 2 big sisters and 1 little sister. She can make anyone laugh, always has something witty to say, and just loves life.
Shyanne is currently 8 years old. When she was only 2 and 1/2, she was taken to CHEO as her mom and dad had noticed some things that were happening, and knew that it was not normal. She was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, and had a tumor the size of a golf ball removed from the back of her brain. Shyanne then spent quite a while in hospital, going through chemo treatments in Montreal. After many months, she was able to return home and continue her recovery, with regular MRI's to keep an eye on everything. And it was looking great! Until another tumor began to grow. What started out as a pea sized spot, turned into a tumor that is currently bigger than a marble. So the tough decision was made to move forward with another surgery. This tumor is located in the right side of her brain, and the doctors do not yet know what kind of cancer it is. So on April 14th, Shyanne's mother Stefanie, and her father Merv, along with the rest of her family, will anxiously wait while Shyanne undergoes a surgery that will take 12-14 hours. This surgery could cause a number of different issues.
We do not yet know what treatment will be needed afterwards, nor the length of recovery time, as the doctors will need to examine the tumor and determine the cancer before continuing with anything.
I am starting this Go Fund Me in the hopes of raising some money to help cut the costs of staying in Ottawa (possibly Montreal again), food, gas, whatever is needed, so that Shyanne can have her mom and dad by her side. As if it wasn't bad enough for this sweet girl to have to go through this once, it is so heartbreaking for the family to have to go through this yet again. If you can spare anything, donations, prayers, well wishes, it would be so totally appreciated ❤
