Prudhoe brain tumour sufferer Megan Armstrong records album

11-year-old Megan Armstrong who has formed a band with her schoolfriends called the Pink Ladies

A BRAVE youngster suffering from a brain tumour has made a foray into the music world by recording an album.

Megan Armstrong, 11, has had a brain tumour since she was 13 months old and today she is still defying the odds.

Earlier this year doctors discovered that Megan’s tumour had grown and her parents Sandra and Philip were faced with an agonising decision whether to allow surgeons to operate.

But instead they opted to continue with chemotherapy because of fears that Megan could risk losing the remaining 20% of her vision.

Now Megan has found a new lease of life and has recorded a four-track album with seven other class mates from Highfield Middle School, Prudhoe.

As part of the inclusion support group the pupils, who have called themselves the Pink Ladies, went to Hexham Community Centre for the recording session.
