'Her story is a stark reminder of the indiscriminate nature of this disease, which can affect anyone at any time.'
Ellie Riccio with mum Kim A teenager who was diagnosed with a brain tumour tragically passed away after a six-month battle. The tumour was in her brain, and left her unable to speak or move at the end of her life. Now, her mother is trying to raise awareness. Ellie Riccio, 14, started showing symptoms when she fainted during a drama class after experiencing slurred speech. When her mum, Kim, 45, rushed her to hospital, tests first showed she had low iron levels in her body.
‘I observed the joy in her face as she watched the spectacle in the sky for the first time. It was bittersweet as I knew it would be her last.’ Throughout it all, Ellie was ‘thoughtful and kind’, and didn’t get what’s often known as ‘roid rage’ when on steroids. Brain tumour symptoms The symptoms of a brain tumour vary depending on the exact part of the brain affected.
