The last few weeks I’ve been passing out (fainting) unexpectedly and randomly - my mum just thought it was to do with the heat (the heat is crazy in Australia) last week at touch football I passed out and had a seizure, I was unconscious for 30 seconds and unresponsive to anyone/anything for 25 minutes, it was scary. Today I had a brain CT and they found a tumour in my brain.. next week I go see a cardiologist because for 4 hours my (resting) heart rate was 141 (normal resting heart rate is 60-100) and I’m scared something is wrong there.. I’m already scared about the tumour I don’t want anything else to be wrong. And I know how scary this is for my mum and I don’t want her to worry.

I only just turned 17 and I have HSC to deal with - now this.

I’m not ready to tell my friends so I just needed to get it out

Please pray for me
