A 16-month-old boy is fighting a rare type of blood cancer that affects only one in a million young children every year.
"He had an appointment the Friday before last, where they said again, we don't think it’s anything serious, but we’ll discuss it with a paediatrician and if they want to see you we'll give you a call back. Olivia added: "So they went to the appointment, thinking it was literally going to be some kind of intolerance. Then they started having tests done and scans and things like that.
"Although there's been months of doctors appointments and antibiotics, nothing suggested that there was anything sinister like this," Olivia said. "You don't expect to go to an appointment and just not to go home again." Marco and India are currently living in the Ronald McDonald House in Manchester, which provides accommodation to families whose children are undergoing treatment. Realistically, this could be their lives for the next eight to 12 months, as Luca's course of treatment could go on for the next year - something none of them were prepared for.
