Brain Tumour facts- 10 things you should know about brain tumours
THE mum of a teenage footballer is asking for “everybody and everyone” to save her son’s life after he received a devastating diagnosis of a life-limiting disease.Oscar's mum, Natalie, is now looking for him to get treatment abroad, as the UK can only offer palliative carewho to Natalie’s shock said he had a migraine and needed “putting in a dark room for four days without his phone”.She said: “I believe every child up to a certain age should be given a mandatory MRI scan to save more lives.
Oscar has most recently been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation as part of a SIOP clinical trial that started in January.This involved four months of chemotherapy through an imported pic line into his heart, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy.Natalie claims surgeons will no longer operate on Oscar as the risk is too great.
Trails are available in the US, but Natalie claims Oscar has been turned down as he’s not a US citizen.Natalie said: “We’re so relieved that he’s got a trial. I reached out to 22 cities that hold this trial."We’ve been told the UK can only offer palliative care. “I need someone willing to be a superhero just like Oscar and work their magic to remove it. I couldn’t accept what they told me.”
