A basketball (Netball) game two years ago was the beginning of Melbourne girl Nelson (Ciara Nelson) `s nightmare. After hitting her head during the game, she was admitted to the hospital for a check-up and was found to be suffering from rare brain cancer. At that time, she was only 16 years old.
Nelson was diagnosed in 2016 with a fatal brain cancer, high-grade glioma (high-grade glioma).)
These rare brain tumors grow in the brain stem, the most difficult part of the brain. Medical experts around the world say Nelson`s brain tumors cannot be removed surgically because of the risk of brain damage, stroke and even death.
Faced with an outcry from experts, Nelson`s mother said the family could only place the last glimmer of hope on Sydney`s famous Chinese neurosurgeon, Zhang Zhengxian, (Charlie Teo). Two weeks ago, Zhang "ventured" and "100% of her tumor was removed after a 5-hour keyhole operation," (keyhole surgery) said.

Despite Zhang Zhengxian`s claim that it was the most difficult operation he performed, Nelson`s operation was successful. He believes he has 100% tumor removed. " Nelson`s mother wrote on Facebook.
The single mother, who has three children, describes Zhang as a "miracle maker." "when many other doctors refused to operate, Zhang crossed the line of medicine." She praised.
"I think this country is lucky to have him, and there is no doubt about it. No one wanted to touch her (Nelson), and everyone looked away from her. We are quite lucky. He took a risk and did it! "
Nelson is understood to have returned to her home in (Pakenham), Melbourne, and is waiting four weeks later for a brain scan to find out if her tumor has been completely removed.
