Little Blake started chemotherapy three days after he was diagnosed.
A Penilee mum has spoken of the moment her 'world collapsed' as her five-year-old child was diagnosed with Leukaemia.
"He only started school in August so I thought it was the usual bugs you'd catch from school, but, something just wasn't right. We took him to A&E because he was losing weight and wasn't eating or drinking. "He went in the next day, and it was confirmed that he had Leukaemia. It was such a shock because you never expect that.Three days after he received the diagnosis Blake started chemotherapy.
"They said that some parents tell their children that their blood is a bit different from everyone else or tell them they have superhero blood and there's too many superheroes so they need to fix back to normal. "It would take three or four nurses to give him chemo, which is awful to watch as a parent because I know he needs this to get better but it was difficult.
Stephanie now also realises the importance of blood and stem cell donations after seeing the number of children, including her own, that desperately need the help.The health care worker explained: "Blake has had at least 10 blood transfusions since December.
