Mum's Shock as Toddler's Toe Injury Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Devastating Discovery

A simple accident turned into a nightmare for Amina Haq when her son, Zakariyah, stubbed his toe and it led to a shocking revelation of cancer.

After banging his toe and it turning purple, Amina rushed Zak to A&E where he was given antibiotics. But the issue persisted, leading to a blood test and the devastating diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

A Brave Journey

Zak underwent intensive treatment and hospital stays, but with the support of his family and the care of dedicated doctors, he is on the road to recovery.

A Cuddly Companion

Throughout his tough journey, Zak found solace in a special sensory 'Cuddles for Christmas' Warmies bear gifted by Cancer Support UK, providing him with comfort during hospital visits.
