Scots tot who lost eye to rare cancer after being 'fobbed off by clinic' given all-clear

A Scots tot who lost his eye to a rare cancer at just four-weeks-old has been declared cancer free after allegedly being "fobbed off" by an eye clinic.

Caleb Mackay's family noticed when he was born in August 2021 that he had severe swelling behind his left eye. His mother Chloe Collins claims the youngster was fobbed off three times by doctors at Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion in Edinburgh after being taken in for checks in the weeks following.

The 23-year-old persisted to take the youngster to get checked after medication he was put on to reduce swelling failed to work. In October, after four visits to the eye pavilion, doctors arranged for Caleb to go for an emergency CT scan which revealed he had a malignant rhabdoid tumour.
