A family has spoken about how their lives have been turned "upside down" following their three-year-old's cancer diagnosis. Parents Claire Formby and Mike Smith took their child Ella to the GP after she was complaining of pains in her tummy on a day out.
But doctors said they couldn't find anything wrong, even though the little girl 'was not herself and lethargic.' Even after Claire and Mike, from Runcorn, took their daughter to urgent care, there was still no explanation for Ella feeling so ill.
Speaking to the ECHO, Ella's auntie Joanne Formby said: "In hindsight now, looking back, Ella has always struggled with digestion problems. When she was born she was on prescription milk, which contained no protein and as she got older and was potty training, she always seem to struggle or there was something not quite right.
