Berbice cyclist diagnosed with brain tumour brain dead – mother

15-year-old Berbice gold medalist Beyonce Ross, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour, was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital late on Thursday, and her condition has been listed as critical.
“She is on the life support machine and the doctors say she is already brain dead,” her mother Yonette Clarke told the Guyana Times.
Ross, who captured three gold medals at the last National Schools Cycling

Championships, was recently diagnosed with a tumour at the centre of her brain, and on Tuesday it was confirmed that it was not cancerous. Family members were looking forward to her recovery.
The cycling champion fell ill in early February, and after an MRI scan, it was discovered that she had a tumour in her brain. She underwent her first operation on April 13. The tumour was reportedly at a critical spot in her brain but doctors were confident it could have been removed through a surgical procedure which could not have been done locally. A club from her hometown had already secured the funding to cover her travel expenses for the surgery. Meanwhile, up to press time, family members were bracing themselves for the worst as the teenager had stopped breathing on her own.
