A mum has spoken about the devastating cancer diagnosis given to her son on his sixth birthday - after she was initially told two lumps she had found on him were nothing to worry about.
Alexandra Jones, 29, first saw the lumps on little Leighton's head in April. She took him to a walk-in health centre to be looked at. Despite visiting twice, she was told that the lumps were nothing to be concerned about.
But then a "tear" opened up on Leighton's eye, so she returned. It was then that the family, from Huyton in Liverpool, were referred to Wigan Eye Hospital and Alexandra was told that Leighton needed an urgent MRI scan, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
