 
was
only 2 years old when she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma --
a malignant brain tumor that forms from primitive or poorly developed
cells at a very early stage of life. Medulloblastomas are usually
found in children, particularly between the ages of three and
eight. They make up about 20% of all childhood brain tumors.
Long-term survival is rare but not impossible.
Fiona is now a happy 3 year old, despite 14 months of brain surgery,
chemotherapy and radiation therapy to keep her tumor-free.
Such a battle should never be waged by one so young and small
-- but surrounded by the love and hope of her family and friends,
Fiona has already beaten the odds.
