Bella was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in November 2016. She was just two years old at the time. Her mum, Lisa, tells their story so far:
“You hear all these stories of mothers that knew their child wasn’t themselves but had to battle for doctors to listen to them. Well, what about when your child has no signs or symptoms that there are ill, and the only reason you go to the hospital is due to her falling off a chair?
Cancer is the scariest thing anyone could go through, especially when they are only two years of age. To hear that your baby has leukaemia has got to be the hardest thing to hear.
Bella really struggled with chemotherapy and we spent month after month in the hospital. When one infection went, she seemed to catch another. At one point I thought this nightmare would never end. After 10 months of intensive chemotherapy which could be up to four doses of chemotherapy a day, Bella went into maintenance chemotherapy.”
“It was Bella’s birthday on Sunday 22nd July and I wanted to share with you the difference a year can make. She is on maintenance chemotherapy which is orally every evening and once a month through her line. She has eight more months to go.”
