hi everyone , i am isabelles godmother and brooke's best friend. not many people know but in december isabelle was diagnosed with a childhood cacncer called nephroblastoma or most commonly known as a willms tumour , this tumor started on isbelles right kidney and by the time it was caught it was already 15cmsx10cms large , and this is where brookes life fell apart her only daughter her 6 month old baby facing cancer , operation after operation , chemotherapy , numerous hospital visits to westmead childrens and not knowing if isabelle would even pull through , on christmas eve isabelle recieved a huge 6 hour operation to remove this huge tumor growing on her kidney , pushing into her little lung , liver and stomach, brooke was told isabelle could possibly not make it through surgery and at best she would have a huge cut across her whole stomach and need a blood transfusion and spinal block for the pain , but our little fighhter pushed through with no troubles and really showed everyone especialy me what true strength is , if a baby can go through all this , i really couldnt complain about a single thing in life. brooke and isabelle spent the next week in hospital meaning brooke missed out on christmas with her two other boys hunter and sean and isabelle's first christmas was spent in hospital.. fast forward too a few weeks later and the results of the tumor were in and the news was what we were all dreading baby isabelle did in fact have cancer , further testing was done and it has now been discovered in her lung , this drops isabelles survival rate from 95% to 70% , isabelle starts her first round of chemotherapy next week and also has to have yet another operation to put in a central line into her chest, her chemo is going to be a cocktail of 5 different types of chemo and unfortunatly one of them will make her beautiful brown hair fall out :( in all of this brooke has been so strong i dont even know where her strength comes from but i know most of it is from the love for her kids , if you know brooke well enough you know she is a single mum to three kids and does everything on her own from paying $460 rent a week , putting food on the table everyday and everything inbetween. i am starting this for brooke because if we can all help a little financially its one less worry on brooke's mind , her car is broken down so now she has no idea how she is getting isabelle back and forth to westmead every week for chemo , chemotherapy is going to cost $150 a week for isabelle , and on top of all this she has to provide for her children all by her self. im asking everyone to please please help brooke out she needs it more than anyone i know. even just $10 is all we ask , every single cent counts guys. and please everyone keep brooke, isabelle and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
