Mum who thought son had conjunctivitis receives heartbreaking cancer diagnosis

A mum who thought her son had conjunctivitis has been left heartbroken after he was diagnosed with a rare cancer.

Jade Williams said little Rhys had very few symptoms when doctors discovered he was suffering from the devastating disease, Wales Online reports. The youngster is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Birmingham Children's Hospital - but has been told that if treatment isn't successful, his eye will have to be removed.

Mum Jade said she first realised something was wrong when his left eye became 'glazed' and then became red around the pupil. The 29-year-old said: “He kept saying his eye was ‘sunny’. Then I noticed he was getting worse and the pupil was getting more red.”
