Now 11, she has spent more than half her life in hospital.
She has spent more than half her life in hospital I will never forget those words. ‘I’m really sorry to say that Tia has cancer.’ They brought our world crashing down around us in an instant. My daughter was just four years old and, after she hadn’t been well, we thought she might have anaemia. Turns out, it was so much worse. Tia had been fit and healthy from the moment she was born. She had never needed to go to the doctor’s, never had a cold or flu or a temperature.
All was going well, but about a year into her treatment we discovered that she had relapsed for a third time – this time, the cancer spreading to her central nervous system in her spinal cord. She had relapsed for a third time Out of all the news we’d had, this one was the hardest to take. It meant there was a chance Tia could die. We went from being OK, to having really difficult conversations with doctors about losing our child.
