A two-year-old boy was told he had a number of different infections before being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Freddie Sellick from Crosby first started vomiting and struggling to walk straight around March 14, with his mum, Emma Sellick, taking him to the doctors to see if they could diagnose the little boy. The stay at home mum was told it was gastroenteritis, but with Freddie only vomiting she was dubious.
Her gut instinct proved to be right and after numerous trips to both her local GP and to children's A&E who continued to tell her he was suffering with a number of infections, she refused to give up and contacted the endocrine specialist at Alder Hey when she struggled to get a straight answer from doctors. By the time Freddie was put in the hands of the specialist, he had been vomiting, struggling to stand up, his eyes would often roll backwards and had blood in his urine.
