A mum was questioned by doctors about abusing her baby after he developed mystery bruises - before a blood test confirmed he had leukaemia. Beth Reilly, 23, became concerned when her little boy Bailey Kilbane, now 16 months, started developing strange bruises and flu-like symptoms last October.
She says the tot was "so happy and smiley" GPs and hospital doctors said there was nothing wrong with him six times. Doctors even asked the doting mum-of-one if she was abusing her son, she claims.
But a blood test eventually confirmed Bailey was suffering from leukaemia - cancer of the white blood cells. Beth says that she hopes her experience will encourage people to press doctors for tests.
