<div>Eamonn was a fit and healthy 37 year old, but on <strong>28th of May 2017 </strong>a massive seizure led to a diagnosis of a brain tumour. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eamonn's 1st surgery in <strong>June 2017 </strong>was an awake craniotomy believed to have achieved 100% removal of the tumour. Multiple complications followed for Eamonn including, 
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>a life threatening lung clot </em>
</li>
<li><em>2 brain bleeds requiring emergency surgery </em>
</li>
<li><em>10 days in Intensive care</em>
</li>
<li><em>complete paralysis on his left side</em>
</li>
<li><em>subsequent skull infection requiring surgery and replacement of a large segment of his skull with a prosthetic</em>
</li>
<li><em>Eamonn was also diagnosed with Epilepsy as a result of the complications.</em>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eamonn was fully dependent on the staff in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin for his basic care, unfit to return home where he started an intensive rehabilitation programme, transferring to the National Rehab Hospital where he remained until <strong>November 2017.</strong> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After his discharge from the NRH Eamonn continued his intense rehab as an outpatient, where his goal was to walk again and play football with his son Fionn; something he achieved after many many months of hard work. Despite the ongoing setbacks he experienced, eventually Eamonn regained sufficient improvements in his leg, even returning to his GAA coaching in his local club and enjoying time with his dogs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately the recovery of his left arm and hand wasn't as successful due to his acquired brain injury but Eamonn worked hard to adjust. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was a massive shock to Eamonn and family to be told after 7 years that there was a reoccurrence of the brain tumour. His medical team changed the status of his tumour to *<strong><em>treatable but incurable</em></strong>*. With more surgery no longer an option, a lengthy period of radiotherapy and chemotherapy were decided upon. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In <strong>March/April 2024</strong> Eamonn underwent 6 weeks of daily radiotherapy in St Luke's Hospital, Dublin. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unexpectedly the treatment caused a reduced loss in power/mobility and his ability to perform simple daily tasks, being dependent on family and friends once again. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eamonn is currently receiving chemotherapy which started on the <strong>16th of July 2024</strong> for the duration of 12 months. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The reason we, his family and friends, have set up this Go Fund Me page is to support Eamonn and his own family as they've experienced significant financial loss because Eamonn has been unable to work full-time since 2017 and this will continue for the foreseeable future. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to the fact that Eamonn has suffered this condition previously he is precluded from any mortgage payment protection or critical illness cover; making it an extremely worrying situation for them, as it would be for any family. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the unknown side effects of this incurable brain tumour we hope to support the family in any modifications that may be required within their home throughout Eamonn's treatment and into the future and to protect their home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would also hope to support Eamonn in accessing any possible further treatments in the future and his young family, Jane, Sinéad and Fionn to continue to build memories as uncertain times lie ahead with Eamonn's prognosis. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything you can contribute, big or small, to help support Eamonn and his family at this very challenging time would be greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many thanks x
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Team Eamonn xx
</div>
