A boy whose mum thought he had conjunctivitis is in fact suffering from a serious condition, leaving her devastated. Jade Williams said little Rhys had hardly any symptoms but now doctors have diagnosed a rare type of eye cancer.
The youngster has been undergoing chemotherapy at Birmingham Children’s Hospital - but has been told that if it doesn’t show quick results his eye will have to be removed. Mum Jade said she noticed his left eye seemed ‘glazed’ and then it started getting red around the pupil.
She explained: “He kept saying his eye was ‘sunny’. Then I noticed he was getting worse and the pupil was getting more red.” He has pictures taken of his eye at Specsavers and when she sent them to an optometrist she was told that she had to take him to A&E immediately.
