    Finding out my 26 year old Nephew/Godson's brain tumour is at a grade 3 stage has probably been the most traumatic news our family has ever heard. Having lost my mum and father-in-law already to cancer; this news has left us feeling desperate and in shock. He is such a sweet and caring boy and we are such a close loving family. This news is less than a week old and he is so brave and worried about US! Surgery removed the majority of the tumour and he will start radio and chemo when his surgery has settled. He inspires me and I hope that we will do him justice as we continue to cherish him.
