EXCLUSIVE: Emma Eyre's daughter Eden is finally excited for Christmas this year thanks to the Great Ormond Street Hospital team who helped her after she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer...
Sitting in the GP surgery with my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Eden on my lap, tears streamed down my face as I begged for help. Having spent the past six weeks in and out of appointments, I knew that something wasn't right. We were all missing something, but I didn't know what. All of a sudden she'd had lots of infections and illnesses, and the gaps where she wasn't poorly were getting smaller.
The treatment plan was 18 months from start to finish and consisted of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Watching her go through it was soul-destroying. It tore me apart. I had to sign paperwork before chemotherapy that stated that the risk of the treatment was her life - I signed knowing that her little body might not be strong enough to withstand it.
At one point we'd spent six weeks in hospital and she came out just in time for Christmas. We were so excited to have her home, but she was so weak and irritable that she hated it. It was heartbreaking. In February 2019, Eden rang the bell and the nurses gathered round and I baked a cake that featured the characters from the ward. Throughout treatment I'd look at the bell constantly and it was a little bit of hope as I walked around.
