Aashna first showed signs of cancer when she started limping as she walked down the stairs at school. For an active and healthy child, it seemed okay. But what followed was a month of progressive loss of mobility, day by day. She began crying at school, taking naps after coming home, and complaining of bone pains even while standing.

Life was turned upside down for us and Samuel’s two brothers when we were told he had a brain tumour. The tumour was removed in a long operation, but a few days later, we were given the devastating news that it was cancer.

Philippa was just two years old when she was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a cancer-like disease. Her mum, Claire, shares her story.

Scarlett-Anne first showed symptoms of severe constipation and a swollen abdomen. This was when her pain started and she stopped eating properly, leading to multiple hospital trips to try and find out what was wrong.
