This is my bestfriend, Alanna, and her father.
Ever since she was in kindergarden, she’s had a cyst, or tumor, deep inside her brain. The doctors have never exactly known what the cause of it was, but what they do know is that if this cyst grows, it possibly will and has a high chance of killing her.
Last Friday, December 9th, she was rushed to the hospital after feeling super dizzy, and having her head hurt her all day. The doctors told her that her cyst has been growing a lot over the years, which as said before, is very severe. Alanna will soon be getting surgery on her brain, which is very serious and also very dangerous. A surgery like this is something the doctors usually would not do, because of how deep in her brain it is, and the positioning. If one small thing goes wrong during this surgery, Alanna could possibly have mental problems for the rest of her life, certain body functions will never work again, or could even die.
People these days are so worried about their appearance or what people think of them, but Alanna will have her head shaved prior to the surgery, and doesn’t even mind.
I know that Alanna loves you all, and would be so much more than happy if you just showed your support for her. I promise you, she would just be so amazed. So please, please, please take a few seconds out of your day to show your care and support for my strong friend, and just keep this amazing, brave, and beautiful girl in your prayers!
love, your bestfriend.
