The 17-year-old says she is feeling "more positive" after nine weeks of revolutionary proton radiotherapy treatment at a top Swiss clinic – paid for by £10,000 of donations from residents across the district.
Sky-Marie, of Ambler Street in Castleford, is planning to return to college in September and says she looking forward to getting back to normal.


She said: "I was forced to leave college when my eyesight failed, so I'm really excited about getting back to normal.
"The tumour is still there and it could be five to ten years before we know if the treatment has worked.
"But my double vision has improved and I feel more positive.
"The past year has been a rollercoaster of emotion and stress – we've got through it slowly and now there is light at the end of the tunnel."


"I'd thank everyone who has supported or helped me, especially my family and friends – they've been fantastic."
The former Castleford High School pupil was diagnosed with the rare tumour in December.
Doctors could not operate because of its dangerous position – under her brain and behind her eyes.


She is one of just ten UK patients to have the specialised treatment at the Paul Scherrer Institute near Zurich this year.
Her mum Tracy said: "It was heartbreaking to see her have the treatment and we must wait a long time for results.


"But six months ago we didn't think we would get here, I'm just glad Sky-Marie has those years to think about.
"We couldn't have done it without all the help from so many good people and I can't thank them enough."
The family now wants to help others who need to travel to Switzerland for the radiotherapy.


Sky-Marie added: "I was petrified before treatment but there was one man staying alone in a hostel so he could pay for the therapy and I felt so sorry for him.
"We want to hold an annual sponsored walk and do what we can to help others.
