Brave Scots teen with orange-sized brain tumour told surgeon 'it's not your fault if I die'
03.04.2022 - 13:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A brave Scots teen who was found to have a brain tumour the size of an orange wrote her surgeon a note telling him it wasn’t his fault if she died.
Beth McKenzie, from Blantyre, was taken to see her GP for tests after she began vomiting, having headaches and pain in her eyes.
The 16-year-old was rushed to the emergency department at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow where she was handed into the care of neurosurgeon Roddy O’Kane.
An eight hour operation was scheduled for June 4, 2021, but before it could begin, the medic was handed a note that Beth had written for him.
It read: “Mr O’Kane, thank you for saving me and treating me like an adult, telling me the truth. You’re right, I can take it.
“Thank you for doing everything you can, and if I didn’t make it in the end, thank you for trying. It’s not your fault. These things just happen. From Beth.”
The operation was thankfully a success and Beth is now studying hard for her Higher exams - just 10 months after going under the knife.
Mum Clare explained how Beth’s diagnosis turned the family’s world upside down and feared that history could be repeating itself.
She said: “My mum had a brain tumour when I was 22. It was a secondary cancer and she had it removed. But doctors couldn’t find the primary and she died.
“It all came flooding back. I was so worried when they said Beth had a tumour. It was tough to hear but you go on to autopilot. I had to be strong for Beth.
The next day they were given the good news that all the tumour had been successfully removed, but they had to wait a bit longer for the result of the biopsy.
Thankfully it showed that Beth’s tumour was a Meningioma and was non-malignant.
The school girl is understandably grateful to the surgeon but admits
