Sasha Browne

Doctor Sasha Browne was a medical consultant at the Ladybird Children's Hopsital who dealt with Hope Stape when she diagnosed with cancer in the autumn of 2015. The first meeting she had with parents Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs was to give them the results of Hope's scan which were that she had a form of cancer called neuroblastoma but more tests were required to determine the stage that it had reached and therefore the treatment required. She warned them that they would have to spend a lot of time at the hospital and that they were in for a long, hard journey but it was better to know the truth now.

The next session of scans showed that the cancer was an intermediate neuroblastoma, a stage which was better than they feared and, further, that other tests had shown that it hadn't spread from her abdomen. This meant that she had a very good chance of responding to treatment, starting with chemotherapy, and they had an 80% chance that she would be fully cured.
