Support for the Brindle Family

Steve was diagnosed with a grade 2 Ependymoma brain tumour and bravely underwent brain surgery at the Royal Northshore Hospital in Sydney on the 12th of November. After the surgery there were complications and Steve had to endure another surgery on the 30th of November to put a shunt in. For the past 8 weeks Steve has had non stop nausea and vomiting, been on the verge of bladder rupture, he has blurred vision and he now has pneumonia. He has a nasal gastric feeding tube and they are scanning the shunt to check for infection. Steve needs to have radiation when he is well enough.

Steve has an adoring wife Andrea and two beautiful young children. He runs his own business and provides for his family. They were hoping he would be back working about now, but unfortunately, he still has a long road to recovery. Steve is in hospital 7 hours away from his family, and Andrea has taken a lot of time off work to be with him.

We want to support Steve and his young family as he will not be able to get back to work as soon as they had hoped, due to all of the ongoing complications he has endured.

Thank you in advance for your support and kind words.
