Summer’s Tumour Fighting Fund
Donation protected
This is Summer - she is 4 years old. (She is the daughter of George and Sarah Honeyman and the sister of Shanice Honeyman)
Summer was born with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves. This is a genetic disease which affects the whole body.
Summer had an MRI on 12.10.2020 It showed Summer to have 2 tumours, one on her right optic nerve which is impacting her vision (if you ask her she says it’s dark and she can’t see) The other tumour is on the brain.
Yesterday 23rd October 2020 we were told in the next 7/10 days Summer will under go brain surgery to take a biopsy and if it is safe to do so, attempt to remove the tumour or some of it. Of course there are risks to this surgery resulting in disability or death, but we must find out what the tumour is in order to get the right chemotherapy treatment. As you can imagine it breaks your heart as a parent to know your little child has to undergo such surgery.
Summer in the next 7/10 days will start chemotherapy for the tumour for the next couple of years on the optic nerve on her right eye that is for certain. It is going to be over the next couple of years. Regular visits to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (Glasgow) The treatment for the brain tumour we have yet to find out depending on what they find.
Since we live in Argyll and winter will soon be upon us, they suggest for Summers care that we make arrangements to stay over for 2 to 3 days during treatment. (Day before/day after)
As you can imagine not only does NF1 at times causes summer pain, the chemotherapy will undoubtedly take its toll on little Summer.
We would like to raise funds for Summer to make life easier for her. To help with the costs of travel, accommodation, items Summer may need to help her. Sarah has had to give up her job to become Summers full time carer.
We will continue to update this page to tell Summers story, updating photos and news on how Summers is responding to her chemotherapy treatment and the results of the brain tumour.
We are grateful to you for any donation you can make for little Summer - she sends a big hug and from a warm heart, a thank you.
