The mum of an Irish schoolgirl battling cancer has said the warning signs were “slow to materialise and difficult to tell apart from normal childhood illnesses”.
Nine-year-old Alice Hayes from Dublin was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare, aggressive, and complex cancer of the nerve cells, with a high chance of relapse, and low survival rates, in April 2022, leaving her family lost for words.
Not wanting to waste any time, she started induction chemotherapy the next day.
