Fearne's parents, Gary and Paula Stewart, have shared the family's experience after the Blantyre schoolgirl was given a shock diagnosis at just four years old and became the first in Scotland to take part in a new clinical trial.
A brave Lanarkshire schoolgirl who battled cancer and was among the first in Scotland to take part in a new clinical trial has cut the ribbon on a brand new Cancer Research UK superstore in Glasgow .
Fearne’s dad, Gary, 36, said: “We’re so proud of Fearne, of the resilience our daughter has shown and of her determination during some of the most difficult times in hospital.

She also had experienced night sweats, a sore stomach, weight loss, pale skin and repeated infections over a short time. An article on the Cancer Research UK website about symptoms of cancer in children had prompted Fearne’s parents to get medical advice.
Fearne was joined at the superstore launch by Professor Victoria Cowling of the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute in Glasgow. Professor Cowling has been awarded a grant of £214,492 by Cancer Research UK to find a way to “shoot the messenger” that allows cells to grow in the wrong place in the bowel, which can lead to cancerous tumours. Her team is examining the role DNA and its biological messaging system RNA play in the development of cancer in the bowel.
