Megan walks by herself for first time in months after treatment
The three-and-a-half year-old girl from Cill na Martra near Macroom is continuing to receive treatment at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital. The specialist treatment, unavailable here in Ireland, has been tough on the toddler, but her family has expressed delight at the news that Megan is now able to walk again by herself.
Megan was diagnosed with the rare cancerous brain tumour called sPNET medullablastoma on October 15, 2010, just days after her brother Tristan was born. Between the time of Tristan’s arrival and Megan’s diagnosis being confirmed, the toddler had already begun to lose her balance and eventually lost her walk completely.
