Couple who noticed bruise on baby's eye receive devastating diagnosis

A couple who noticed bruising on their toddler's eyelid have been left heartbroken after receiving a devastating diagnosis.

Harper Walker was just 13 months old when her parents spotted the unusual mark, but initially thought it must have been caused while she was playing with a toy. However, when the bruise kept growing and started to push her eye out of shape, mum Jenny Huddart and dad Adam Walker immediately took the tot to the GP.

A few weeks later, their whole world come crashing down when Harper was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that affects just 100 children per year. In another cruel blow, tests showed that the disease had progressed to stage four and already spread throughout the youngster's body, Manchester Evening News reports.
