BACKGROUND: Rachelle le Grange turns 21 on Sunday. She’s a vibrant, loving, hardworking final year Quantity Surveyor (QS) student at the University of Pretoria with a bright future ahead of her. The 3 cm tumour was pressing against her brainstem, cutting off the blood flow, which caused her to collapse. Because of the position of the tumour, surgeons were hesitant to operate. The family did find a surgeon who performed the tumour removal operation at a Johannesburg hospital last month. Instead of the estimated six hours, the operation took almost 20 hours!
