The local community is rallying around a Ladner family dealing with a devastating diagnosis. When three-year-old Connor Green got sick in late February with dizziness and vomiting, his parents Krista and Justin Green were initially told it was a virus.
However, after a trip to B.C. Children's Hospital on Feb. 28 doctors discovered that the symptoms weren't just caused by the flu.
Connor was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
The main tumour is pushing on the part of his brain that effects stability and nausea, and he has another one that runs down the length of his spine.
Connor's prognosis is grim. He has been given just weeks to a few months to live and has begun palliative care to help manage pain and keep him comfortable.
A fundraising account has been set up to help alleviate some of the financial burden so the Greens can focus solely on spending time with Connor and his older sister Robin, 7. The initial goal was set
at $2,000, but the campaign has already raised almost $35,000.
