'My daughter died three times and we started planning a funeral - now she has all clear'

Little Isla-Mae Dunn beamed as she rang the treatment bell to mark the all-clear from cancer - two-and-a-half years after a GP misdiagnosed her with tonsillitis. It was a day mum Laura, 31, and dad Reece, 34, feared they might never see.

The devastated couple were told Isla, now five, died three times during gruelling treatment for leukaemia and a tumour - and they had even started to plan for her funeral. "We didn't know if Isla would make it," mum Laura, from Nottinghamshire, said.

"We had started to plan what we would do if the worst happened. She was thankfully given the all-clear after her last round of chemotherapy on September 2, and she rang the hospital bell as people cheered."
