Megan, 3, goes to New York for treatment of rare cancer

A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl from Co Cork who was diagnosed with a rare tumour in October — just a week after her parents celebrated the birth of a new child — travelled to New York yesterday for vital cancer treatment.

Megan Malone from Ballyvourney, Co Cork, took ill in early October just days after little Tristan Malone was born to Sheila and John Malone.

Megan had been vomiting and losing her balance. A brain scan revealed a grade four supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal (SPNET) tumour.
