Megan hopes for an end to fight against brain tumour

THE family of a 4-year-old Cork girl undergoing treatment for a rare brain tumour in the US will discover this week whether she will require radiotherapy treatment.

Last October, Megan Malone, from Kilnamartyra near Macroom, Co Cork, was diagnosed with a rare cancerous brain tumour called sPNET medullablastoma. She was given weeks to live by doctors.

However, after hearing about a programme at New York’s Presbyterian Hospital, the Malones moved to the US, where her remarkable recovery has continued to amaze doctors.
