A mum discovered her one-year-old son had cancer after she took him to the doctors over a 'glow' in his eye. Little Cillian Coyles was diagnosed with retinoblastoma - a rare type of eye cancer - after undergoing several tests.
The youngster has now lost vision in his left eye due to a tumour which doctors are trying to shrink with chemotherapy. Despite all the challenges, mum Leonnie Ord said her son is still smiling and the family are now raising funds for a cancer charity.
She first noticed the glow in her son's pupil in August but as it would come and go she just thought it was the light's reflection. But in October it started to become more prominent and like he had a "cat's eye" so she and 36-year-old fiancé Gary Coyles sought medical advice.
