Trusting Instincts
When doctors dismissed 13-year-old Bebe's tiredness as anaemia, her mum had a gut feeling there must be a more serious explanation. Anne-Marie Brown knew something wasn't right.
Relentless Pursuit for Answers
Bebe's symptoms persisted despite initial diagnoses, leading Anne-Marie to demand further tests and eventually take matters into her own hands to uncover the truth.
A Shocking Discovery
Further investigation revealed that Bebe had stage four Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a devastating diagnosis that left the family in deep shock.
Fighting the Battle
Bebe underwent intense treatments, including chemotherapy and steroids, but her determination never wavered. She even raised over £10,000 for Cancer Research while battling the disease.
Hope and Recovery
Thanks to her mother's perseverance and Bebe's resilience, she is now cancer-free and back to enjoying activities she loves like playing netball and PE for her GCSEs.
Spreading Awareness
Anne-Marie encourages other parents to trust their instincts and advocate for their children's health, emphasizing the importance of seeking answers and not being afraid to ask questions or seek second opinions.
