'From the moment Lloyd started throwing up, before he was diagnosed, I just knew in my head it was serious.'
A grieving mum is urging other parents to learn the signs of a rare cancer after her three-year-old son died in her arms.
Sarah, from Aigburth, told the ECHO: "I did go to A&E twice with Lloyd before we had an appointment with the doctor, and we were told it was viral. But I took him to my doctor's surgery and we had a wonderful paediatric doctor who got us an appointment at Alder Hey, she was amazing. After his initial treatments, in May 2022 Lloyd's condition went into remission, but in July another tumour was discovered growing in the front of his head and four down his spine, meaning his cancer had returned and was rapidly spreading.
"From the moment Lloyd started throwing up, before he was diagnosed, I just knew in my head it was serious. Doctors should push for scans a bit more. I was told it was viral at first and if it wasn't for my doctor, we'd have kept going down that route and it would've been God knows how long until he was diagnosed. Just push for answers.
"He was an inspiration, he was one of a kind. I have two other children as well but he was different, he was a right wild child and a rebel. He made everyone laugh and smile. I miss him so much, I feel so lost without him."
