Welcome to Tyra's Blog


Tyra is a very brave 3 year old girl from the Isle of Wight who
has stage 4 Wilms syndrome (if you want more info there is plenty on the net), This means that she has a tumor on her right kidney (well there's no kidney left it's all tumor 11cm big) and also cancer in her lungs. Here on her blog you will be able to follow her progress and if you would like you can help her parents Vicky and Steve with the huge costs related to her treatment, you can help by using the donate button to the right.

Brilliant night last night with Tyra's fundraising disco, I want to say a big thank you to the people who organised it, wish Tyra could of been there.

Friday, October 1, 2010

Blood results no better (worse) so unfortunately she won't be able to make an appeariance at the disco tomorrow night, which is a real shame.
Ct scan went fine yesterday, she was very grumpy the rest of the day after the anestitic, so not looking forward to 10 days of that. Blood test in a bit to see if she's still neutrapenic.
