A family has been rocked with the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia in their 14-week-old baby. Little Wendie-Lou is fighting for her life in Birmingham Children's Hospital where she has already begun a dose of chemotherapy.
This is the second time in recent years that the Smith family has faced heartbreak like this. Just over a year ago Megan Smith died aged 27 from an extremely rare stage four rectal cancer.
Megan would have been the aunt of frail Wendie-Lou and was the sister of first time mum Sammie-Joe, 30. The concerned mother told BirminghamLive about her anger and heartbreak saying she had cried "a river of tears" and that "life is so, so cruel".
