Please make a difference for my little girl who has brain cancer

Charlotte was diagnosed 6 weeks after her fourth birthday. We quickly had her first brain surgery the day before New Year's because of the size and dangerousness of the tumour. We hoped that surgery was enough, however, she relapsed 9 months later. She had two brain surgeries within that first year. We had our third within fourteen months. Due to the rareness of her cancer, there is no clear prognosis or treatment. We do not know what will work best to stop this and so we have hoped and prayed that surgery was enough but considering the frequency of relapse and the growing speed, the doctors realised that surgery was not addressing the cancer sufficiently and so we started radiation in April/May of that year. This bought us a reprieve of about 18 months where we hoped we had won. But it returned.

In total, we have endured 6 brain surgeries, our most recent just last week. We can not keep doing these evasive and dangerous surgeries. The talk now is of palliative radiation, potentially starting in a few weeks once she has recovered.

We love our daughter and she loves life and to be in this situation is horrific, traumatic and terrifying.

So we ask for help, whatever that looks like.
