A devastated mum received the worst news of her life when she was informed her four-year-old daughter's stomach aches were actually a rare form of cancer.
Brodie Burgess was examined by three different doctors who were unable to figure out the source of the issues, until she was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. A scan at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Croydon, revealed a 10cm tumour in 2019.
Following the diagnosis, Brodie spent eight months in a specialist children's hospital where she had to undergo chemotherapy. Mum Cherie Burgess told My London : "It was scary because her cancer was so aggressive. We didn't know if she was gonna make it or not. All of a sudden she had this lump on her pelvis.

"You hear about these things happening, but you never imagine it’ll be your child. We were stuck in the hospital. We weren't able to see many friends and family."
Despite experiencing all the well-known symptoms of chemotherapy such as hair loss, Brodie kept an upbeat attitude while entertaining nurses. "She handled it really well," Cherie added. "We could hardly keep her in bed!
"Whenever she was well enough she was running around the hospital, dancing with the nurses and doing their make-up. Everybody just loved her."
Taxis taking her to and from the hospital was organised by the NHS because her immune system became too weak to risk using public transport. Brodie was schooled by her mum during her time in the ward, which resulted in her missing the whole of her reception years and the majority of Year One.
But it appears the treatment was successful and Brodie, now aged seven, has been in remission for two years. Cherie knows her daughter's condition could return
