Most of the treatments are buying time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a real struggle every day, so anything that can be done to try and stop other families and other people having to go through it is to be applauded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Evanne&#8217;s family say before and after her death, she has raised about \u00a322,000 for brain tumour research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Greg said: &#8220;Losing a child is probably one of the worst types of grief you can have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve not just lost her, we&#8217;ve lost the future of seeing what she would have done and who she would have become.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Your world collapses.
