Stopping chemo in Dublin the hardest choice, says Megan’s dad

THE parents of three-year-old Megan Malone, who continues to make a remarkable recovery from a rare brain tumour, have spoken of the huge risk they took in ending her treatment in Ireland and bringing her to the US.

The Cork toddler had been given a 5% chance of survival with treatment here so when Megan’s parents John and Sheila learned about a life-saving treatment in New York they rushed her Stateside.

Megan, from Kilnamartyra in Co Cork, was diagnosed last October with a rare cancerous brain tumour called sPNET medullablastoma while it is was also discovered that the cancer had spread to her spine and the rest of the brain.
