'My whole world stopped turning... it's something you hear on the news or on social media and you feel sorry for them'
The moment Georgia Barber heard the word ‘tumour’ leave the doctor’s mouth, the entire hospital room started spinning.
The tot, from Rochdale, was immediately started on a chemotherapy course. After several weeks, there was a glimmer of hope. Bobby’s condition had improved drastically. A scan confirmed Bobby’s tumour had returned. Though he was immediately given new chemotherapy treatment, the tot was not getting better. He was in so much pain during the last two months of his life that he had to have an epidural.“It was absolutely awful,” Georgia said, recalling her son’s last days. “I knew when I was in that hospital room, I had to have positive vibes around me and be positive for Bobby.
Rhabdomyosarcoma tumours occur mostly around the head and neck. Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma to occur in childhood, accounting for 53 per cent of cases. Georgia, 27, can recall the anguish of having to watch her only child suffer in agony for months on end.
