Mum urges parents to learn signs of rare condition after son, 3, dies in her arms

A heartbroken mum whose young son died in her arms is urging other parents to learn the signs of a rare cancer.

Sarah Cheung first suspected something was wrong with her youngest son Lloyd when he began vomiting, walking into things and started having silent seizures. But after a visit to the doctors with the three year old, she was told he just had a virus.

But the Aigburth mum said she knew something "wasn't right" as Lloyd was "sleeping a lot" and "scrunching his face" to one side. She returned to the doctors, and in 2021, after further tests, a brain tumour was discovered and the youngster was diagnosed with an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) - an aggressive and rare tumour of the central nervous system.
