Brooke Brion June 9, 1998 - Dec. 8, 2005 
June 9, 2005
It was dog day at the hospital and Brooke had been inpatient awhile. Her counts were still low, but the Dr. discharged her because it was her birthday. With the help of the cousins, aunts, uncles, & grandparents, we planned a party on the way home!
Welcome to Brooke's Web Page. It has been provided to keep people updated about Brooke. Brooke was diagnosed July 15,2003 with bilateral Wilm's tumors. Her wonderful pediatrician found them at her kindergarten check-up. On January 20,2004, surgeons removed Brooke's right kidney and 1/2 her left kidney. Brooke has an older brother Gavin who is 10 and puppy whose name is Snowball. They are both the loves of her life! Brooke finished her treatments of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery in June,2004.Her parents are Nick and Darby Brion.
May, 2005. Brooke has now relapsed. She started having headaches and an MRI showed a tumor in her skull. There are also tumor cells in her bone marrow. The neurosurgeon doesn't want to operate on the tumor. He can't tell from the MRI if the tumor is just pressing on her sagital sinus or if it has grown into it. We are praying that chemo and possibly radiation will rid Brooke of the tumor and other cancer cells.
Brooke had her heavenly healing on December 8, 2005,the feast of the Immaculate Conception. She is now with her Grandpa Brion in heaven.
