Today, 1st December, Nisa had an appointment with her paediatric consultant and was due to have a small operation on her spine. But the Doctor instead told us that he had good news. Her tumour pathology report was updated by a higher committee discussing her proton treatment therapy. They re assessed the test results and they no longer believe Nisa’s tumour was the rare, complex, and hard to treat cancer called Ependymoma II, but instead it’s a tumour type called Pilocytic Astrocytoma, a (most) benign and very common tumour type. Her operation was cancelled and so was most future hospital appointments. She is cancer free, she does not require any further treatment. All of the Benign tumour has been successfully removed during her 12-hour surgery on 11 November, by Neuro-surgeon Dr. Solanki, for whom we are very grateful to.

At this stage, we longer need to raise any more money for Nisa’s treatment because she will not be having any more treatment. Thank you so much to everyone, it has touched our hearts and made us stronger through difficult times. So what do we do with the money that has been raised so much in so little time? We thought we hold on to it for a while. Why?

We would like to use some of the money to seek for a second opinion, to put our minds at rest. She has some damage to her vision and loss of feeling on the left leg, affecting her walking ability, etc. She will be continuing with her vision test appointments at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. But we will happily return any donations when requested. Just email me.

Nisa, her sister Aysegul her parents and we are overjoyed with the good news today and thank everyone for their endless support, generosity and prayers. You were all special.
