On 17th April 2008 we shockingly found out that our daughter Libby (then 16 months) had a brain tumour. Libby had successful life saving surgery at the Royal Children’s Liverpool Alder Hey Hospital to remove the tumour and some skull. The tumour was subsequently diagnosed as a rare children’s bone cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma. It was established that the cancer had originated in her skull and had formed a large tumour in her brain. Not only is the cancer itself rare but its position and Libby’s age make it out of the ordinary.
