A family's life has been turned "upside down" since their three-year-old daughter started to complain of stomach pains.
Parents, Claire Formby and Mike Smith, from Runcorn, say their daughter Ella was unwell and complaining of a sore stomach during a trip with their family to Liverpool's World Museum on March 9.
They took the toddler to their GP, but doctors couldn't find anything wrong. Claire and Mike then took Ella to urgent care, but once more medics could not anything, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Ella's auntie Joanne Formby said: "In hindsight now, looking back, Ella has always struggled with digestion problems. When she was born she was on prescription milk, which contained no protein and as she got older and was potty training, she always seem to struggle or there was something not quite right.
"The day before Mother's Day, myself, my husband, my two children, Claire, Mike, my other niece Grace - who is Ella's sister - and Ella, we all went to Liverpool to the museum for a day out and Ella was just really tired and really lethargic.
"Usually she is like a little Tasmanian devil but this day she just wanted to be carried, she wanted to get in the pram, which is so unlike her. On the following Monday, Claire and Mike took her to the doctors and got sent home as they couldn't find anything wrong with her.
"They ended up in urgent care and again urgent care couldn't find anything obviously wrong with her. During the course of that week she was just awake every night in pain, crying."
Her parents took Ella back to urgent care several times through the week and eventually she was sent to to Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Finally following an ultrasound, doctors found a small mass above Ella's left kidney.
