Heartbreak for a Dinnington family searching for a miracle - as 'warrior' Lucy, 8, suffers with a terminal brain tumour

The Bromley family from Dinnington is hoping for a miracle as daughter Lucy, 8, suffers from terminal cancer.

Keen gymnast Lucy should be going into Year 4, but she was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour this March after an optometrist spotted swelling in the back of her eye. She had felt unwell for a few weeks, but medics put it down to flu and then a urinary infection.
