Danielle Update – MRI Results & New Challenges
23 February 2026
As our Givealittle closing date approaches tomorrow, we’ve decided to extend the page until 23rd April, as Danielle’s journey continues to bring new developments.
Danielle had an urgent MRI last week. Unfortunately, the hospital couldn’t get a line in, so the scan was done without contrast.
Her specialist, Richard, said it was harder to assess fully, but there appears to be increased swelling in the frontal lobe — the tumour causing the most concern atm. There is some encouraging news thou, the 4th ventricle tumour shrinking slightly.
Danielle remains stable atm, with good days and difficult days. There may be some progression, but we continue to take each day as it comes.
Her blood platelets dropped dramatically, so her Avastin treatment was paused and her Lumustine chemo dose reduced. Thankfully her levels have improved and treatment has resumed at a lower dose.
Our landlord has given us notice, due to upcoming redevelopement in April, but we've requested more time due to Danielle’s condition and are awaiting a response. The added uncertainty is overwhelming.
Danielle turns 40 on 17th March. Tyson has lovingly organised a birthday dinner so we all can celebrate this milestone. Atm she is not well enough, but we are hopeful if plans need to change, we still mark this special birthday in a meaningful way.
Thank you for your continued love and support. Extending this page helps us manage ongoing treatment and potential relocation costs.
With gratitude always🤍
