Tibor Ordina

Tibor Ordina was diagnosed with Brain tumour in 2004. He had his first operation in May 2011, where a large portion of his tumour was removed and the small part that remained did not grow. However, it began growing in late 2014, to a size which was larger than previously, requiring a second operation in May 2015, 4 years after his first operation. Despite the operation, his tumour was deemed terminal. His condition remained stagnant for the rest of 2015, but worsened in early 2016.
