A schoolgirl who was struggling to see the board in her classes has been diagnosed with a terminal tumour after doctors thought she just had a lazy eye.
Seven-year-old Sarah Atif was bumping into other children in the playground and complaining of tiredness while her handwriting had become abnormally large when worried mum Uroos sought doctor's advice.
But after the youngster from Harrow, north London, was referred to a specialist hospital for an eye test, it soon became clear that the problem was more serious than just her vision.
