Spotting the Signs
A mother's keen eye and quick thinking saved her baby son's life when she noticed a glow in his retina that led to a shocking discovery.
A Mother's Quick Action
Sarah Hedges, a 40-year-old mother of four from Gillingham, Kent, took photos of her three-month-old son Thomas's eye with her smartphone's camera flash after seeing a strange glimmer resembling a cat's eye.
A Life-Changing Diagnosis
Her instincts proved right when tests confirmed that Thomas had a rare form of eye cancer known as retinoblastoma. Thanks to Sarah's prompt action, Thomas received the necessary treatment, including chemotherapy, and is now on the road to recovery.
A Mother's Worst Fear
Reflecting on the ordeal, Sarah shared, "When you hear the word cancer you automatically think of the worst – this can be life-threatening. I just wanted to be swallowed up and someone to tell me that it was a bad dream."
A Happy Ending
Despite the initial shock and fear, Thomas is now doing well and enjoying life like any other happy little boy. Sarah expressed her gratitude, saying, "He’s a very happy little boy. He loves playing with his older brother rough and tumble on the floor."
