I found Hope's blog through another blog I follow. Hope is 14 years old, and was diagnosed with cancer. Her faith in God is amazing. She has challenged me. I encourage that you leave an encouraging comment on her blog. Please pray for Hope.
This is some of her first post, in November, right after she had the cancerous mass removed from her brain:
"Last week I turned 14 years old. I have lived with migraines for quite some time but they started getting worse and worse. Sometimes they were so bad that I couldn't stand up or see anything. My doctor wouldn't do anything. He gave me painkillers.
Randomly I was in a car crash. I ended up going in to hospital to get checked out. Whilst there I had a terrible headache and they did some scans thinking I could have somehow damaged my head in the crash. They found a 'mass' on my brain - nothing to do with the crash. It was horrible to be in the car crash, but hey, the hospital wouldn't have done the tests if i hadn't gone in. So maybe in an odd way it did help. Things were hazy for a while. I think they were giving me lots of drugs. After a few days I was sent for an operation on my brain. Mum says I was in surgery for over six hours. Doctors removed the mass and I woke up in a hospital ward where I am now. So that is how I ended up in hospital.You have no idea how good it feels to get that all out of my very sore brain! "
