Jaxon Barnes was taken to A&E with suspected croup after his mum noticed he had a 'hard tummy' - but it was more serious
A little boy whose 'hard tummy' turned out to be stage four liver cancer has had a slice of his organ removed and is now cancer-free.
"We were arranging at one point where we wanted him to die. So to be in that position to see him ring the bell was amazing." After receiving his diagnosis, Jaxon was sent to the at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, where there was a paediatric cancer ward. He stayed there for two weeks, and over the following 9 months had 12 cycles of chemotherapy over 47 days.
Hayley said: "Jaxon became unique - being the only one to be having treatment and then it spread while undergoing treatment. The most difficult moment was having to sit in the consultant's office having a conversation about where you want your son to die." "I felt relief, happiness and like I could breathe again", said his mum. "It was just brilliant to be in that situation."
