“I’m coming home tonight.” These were the four words NSW girl Tirion Wilkinson uttered when she told her siblings she was free of stage four ovarian cancer. The 11-year-old was diagnosed with ovarian cancer three days before Christmas. Since then, she has endured four rounds of chemotherapy and three operations. Ovarian cancer is rare in children, according to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
“In adults that is not the case,” Penty said. “Ovarian cancer is highly resistant to chemotherapy, and 80 per cent of women receive a recurrent diagnosis.” Tirion made headlines last week when her best friend Chloe Mackenzie-Matteson shaved her head to raise money for the foundation’s research. The pair had been joined at the hip with since they met in Year One at Yowie Bay Public School, with Chloe describing her best friend as “one of the best people I’ve met in probably my entire life”.
