Mum reveals how she thought baby girl, 2, had a viral infection - but it turned out to be a brain tumour
Yvonne, from Dublin, said: “My little girl Ruby vomited up her bottle of milk one morning. I took her to the GP and we thought it was a viral infection.
"Ruby had started complaining of a pain in her head at this point, but that can be part of having a virus. Yvonne said that was “when they told me the worst news I have ever heard: my little girl had a brain tumour.” “Ruby had her Hickman line put in her chest and we did about seven months of chemo. Even though the tumour had been entirely removed and Ruby was cancer free, because it was a grade four tumour she needed to follow through with the plan to complete her chemotherapy course.
