The parents of a one-year-old baby girl are trying to make as many memories as possible after their daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer. Faith, who was born premature at 28 weeks, was diagnosed with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour, a very rare and fast-growing tumour, earlier this year at just seven months old.
Despite a number of difficult treatments and many months spent in hospital, doctors at Barnsley and Sheffield hospitals in Yorkshire say the only alternative treatment is an American drug.
On March 16, Faith was rushed from Barnsley Hospital to Sheffield. She was unconscious and had only half an hour to reach Sheffield. Her mum, Keeley Diane Haigh, 19, from Barnsley, told YorkshireLive: “We found out two weeks ago that she has grown two more tumours, one in her spine and one in the back of her head. Faith’s consultant said we need to start helping her because we don’t know what is around the corner.
