The family of a toddler whose kidney cancer was mistaken for a “viral infection” has shared their experience of being delivered the devastating news.
Little Jamie Clarke was rushed to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital earlier this year after his mum, 21-year-old Ashley Hughes, discovered a lump on the side of his stomach.
Doctors initially suspected the two-year-old was suffering from a viral infection because his glands were swollen but he was taken back to the hospital by his dad Jamie, 24, the following day.
