A West Lothian mum is heartbroken because her daughter has the same rare genetic cancer as her sister did at 19.
Elaine Beattie, now 49, was just 17-years-old when big sister Maria Jayne died of a brain tumour, and decades later is going through the same heart-wrenching journey with her own daughter.
Elaine's youngest daughter Ellie, 16, lives at home with her mum, dad Roy and two big sisters Rachel and Kylie in Livingston. She was diagnosed with metastatic pineoblastoma, an aggressive brain tumour, at 12.
