The parents of five-year-old Isla-Mae Dunn have left behind their beloved pub in Nottinghamshire after revealing it is "not yet the end" of her journey with acute blood cancer. However, little Isla-Mae finished her 'intense' chemotherapy on September 2, marking progress towards recovery.
She had been suffering with a temperature and breathing difficulties in 2020 and numerous video consultations and a visit from paramedics only led to the conclusion she likely had tonsillitis. But after developing a rash and bruises over her body a few months later she was then diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in May the same year.
Father Reece Dunn said there were numerous occasions they were told she may not make it, with himself and wife Laura even planning her funeral at one fraught stage in her journey.
