A father spoke of how he broke down in tears after finding out his daughter’s headaches were a life-threatening condition.
Kris Foulgar-Roberts, 43, said his daughter Milly Roberts, 16, had been suffering with headaches, numerous bruises on her body and struggling and low energy.
After initial tests, doctors thought it could be migraines due to the severity of her pain, but following further investigation, Kris said he received a call while he was out shopping.
“We were told Milly was severely anaemic and needed to go straight to Arrowe Park Hospital for a blood transfusion,” Kris said
“While we were there, they said she needed to be transferred to the Oncology unit at Alder Hey – I knew straight away something was very wrong, my heart just dropped.”
