Whenever I open up Carys's blog I see her as she was in the midst of treatment. I love the photo of her holding Tane's hand at our favourite park. It was such a lovely day, getting out in the sun and fresh air. And I love her little bald head. It was perfectly round and soft. But she has grown up so much since then, with beautiful curls......
Carys Parkinson, diagnosed with neuroblastoma in Feb 2010 at 12 months old at Queen Mary Hospital Hong Kong. Moved to Melbourne to seek treatment at the Royal Children's Hospital. Confirmed to have stage 3 neuroblastoma, favourable histology, (non- N-MYC). At initial diagnosis, the tumour was non-resectable. 4 cycles of chemotherapy shrunk the tumour to 1/3 of its original size. Surgery to de-bulk the tumour was successful with 90% removed. Now on regular monitoring of remaining tumour.
