Kirra's Astrocytoma Brain Tumour Story

Kirra's MRI Scans.

Kirra's Tumour was in the Cerebellum.
   

These scans are here to show to anyone what is possible and how lucky Kirra is. My scanner could not do these images proper justice, but I think they will help anyone going through the ordeal we did. Remember, luckily in Kirra's case the Tumour itself did not causing any problems, it's the pressure the tumour is putting on the other brain parts. The only outside sign something was wrong was the constant tilt of Kirra's head and I hate to say I would have ignored this, as she had only just started to walk at the time. Again luckily Paula's not like me and kept taking her to the Doctors week after week.
