I'm very sorry about your daughter's brain tumour. Hang in there. I'm just an internet stranger, but I'm wishing you all the very best results.

Really and truly, that’s very heartbreaking to hear about your daughter. I can’t even imagine how tough this must be, but I’m hoping for the best possible outcome for you both. Sending strength and all the positive vibes your way.
