Hello, dear people!
I am Suzy, 18 years old. 6 years ago our world was turned upside down when we found out I had a brain tumor.
I live with my mom and dad, and I know I'm a fighter - just like my mom. After many consultations, she came to the decision to have my head surgery done in Turkey.

A lot of money was raised, the surgery and the horror of it went by, but we didn't know that our struggle continued. Since then, we have had to travel to Turkey two or three times a year for preventive tests, check-ups and to buy expensive medicines.

After the surgery, seizures appeared. After an examination with a neurologist in Istanbul, one of the medications was changed and the seizures disappeared briefly. Sometimes I have high blood pressure, other times 70/40.

Due to my health condition, I have been in independent studies all these years and graduated this year. Since three months ago, both my legs have started to go numb, severe pains appeared and the seizures came back - I had four seizures in two months. I hope this trip to Turkey will have an effect and bring improvement.

We have a check up with the neurologist and neurosurgeon who operated on me to monitor my head condition and possible relapse, as well as an endocrinologist who is monitoring the doses of all my medications.
I have a head EEG and EMG on October 27 and an MRI with contrast on October 28.

While Mom has been taking care of me, for the past year she has also been taking care of Grandma and Grandpa who were bedridden, but Grandpa recently left us. I'm older now and I can see how hard it is for her - she did everything she could for us for so many years, but she doesn't have the strength anymore.

So, dear people, I am appealing to you - give me a hand!
The amount needed to continue my treatment is 2500 euros.

Thank you, dear people, for being there, because without you I wouldn't have got this far.
Before the operation the doctors said that the tumour was pressing and it was a matter of time before I went blind, and it had also stopped my growth. One doctor told Mom:

"You have a choice - either you look at it with a little body and head, or you go for a complicated and difficult operation, which I don't give a guarantee for."

From then on, my eye problems started. At the moment, I can't see anything in the distance. I know next year Mom will have to raise more money because I will have to have an eye exam and, maybe, surgery.

For 6 years now my alarm has been ringing constantly for my medication - every few hours:
06:00, 07:00, 10:00, 13:00, 14:00, 20:00, 01:00.

Thanks again for being there and supporting us!
