Lola-Rose's story

Lola-Rose was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour when she was three years old. Her mum, Jodie, shares her story.

  • Published:

Lola-Rose was a healthy active three year old when she started complaining of a tummy ache.

When I was dressing her I noticed a lump at the side of her belly so I took Lola to the urgent care where they sent us to a different hospital for further tests.

These tests confirmed a Wilms tumour.

Lola had surgery to remove the tumour and her kidney and started chemotherapy, which was successful.

Then, on the final day of treatment Lola started to feel poorly again so we went back to the hospital, where she was getting treatment, where a scan confirmed that Lola had a Wilms tumour relapse.

Lola is now having more intense treatment.
