This is where my sister has been staying in Westmead Childrens Hospital for the last 2 weeks.

We were given the results of her biopsy tonight... she has a malignant cancer, which started in her brain and travelled through her spinal fluid down her spine..

The operation took most of it out of her back, but it is still in her brain so now she has to go through chemo & radiotherapy.

She has to take off her braces cos it interferes with the MRI scans, and she'll be cutting her hair short because.. she'll be losing it all over the course of the treatment :(

I'll be cutting my hair short with her too, we're thinking a short bob with a cute side fringe. & Richard said he's shave his head too..

It was a long night, im really upset & fighting so hard for the tears to stay in my eyes, trying really hard to stay strong..
