Hamza Ibrahim recently told his mother that he was devastated he will never be able to see her loving face again because of a brain tumour that has left him with permanent vision loss. The eight-year-old Adelaide boy is having to adjust to a new life, currently unable to do the things he loves, like watching Harry Potter or playing basketball with his friends because of the 5cm benign tumour that caused fluid build-up and pressure, damaging nerves affecting his eyesight.
But there is still built-up fluid that is being drained to other parts of his body through a permanently installed device known as a shunt. “He is still having excruciating headaches. They still haven’t worked out the exact right settings for his shunt,” Jessica said. Doctor education necessary Jessica said Hamza’s experience made her passionate about advocating for doctors to trust parents’ gut instinct and do further training on identifying tumours.
