Lorraine Wilson knew her daughter Milly needed a blood test after she had reported feeling unwell for some time.
At first, Lorraine put her 11-year-old’s complaints of feeling tired and looking pale down to starting a new school and thought it would eventually pass.
But as a nurse, she insisted blood tests be done, and Milly Walmsley was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in November 2014. The family, from Blackburn, were rushed to hospital and Milly underwent gruelling treatment right away.
