NI teen's leukaemia relapse after first diagnosis aged 10
A Lisburn teen has told how she relapsed aged 15 after firstly being diagnosed with leukaemia when she was 10.
Wictoria said: "I was always a healthy kiddo but at the age of 10, during the summer holidays, whilst visiting family in Poland I started feeling a bit unwell. No-one knew what was going on. My bones were sore, I had no appetite, I had a really high temperature and felt generally unwell. This was when I was first diagnosed with leukaemia .
"After a year or two, I was feeling so much better. The treatment had worked to my amazement. Or so we all thought… "I am now 19 and have gone through goodness knows how many different types of chemotherapy, two stem cell transplants and if that wasn’t enough, a T-Cell therapy in London UCL hospital."
