“Scarlett is a 9-year-old from Perth, and she was diagnosed in October last year with a high grade glioma — this is a very aggressive brain cancer with no cure,” Oliver’s mother Natalie earlier shared the piece of information on Swift’s fan page on Facebook. The message further explained the condition of the young patient. “The prognosis given to us was 12-18 months from diagnosis. She has been an absolute warrior through surgeries, radiation, and other treatments. The message was shared by a fan on X which looks like a screenshot of the facebook version.
