After a happy childhood, growing up and attending school in Croatia and Australia, everything changed for high school student Tihana Babic in 2003 when, after four years of mysterious symptoms, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.




Since then, her battles with her health have dominated her life, and she has overcome many hurdles with the help of her family, therapists and doctors. Along the way, she discovered natural medicine and other helpful remedies, which inspired her to change her lifestyle and to adopt a more natural diet and to cut out processed foods and chemicals.




Tihana is now cancer free but still faces many challenges as a result of her illness. In The Gift of a Stolen Youth, she shares her journey in the hope that it will inspire others.
