Dr Hamzah Mustak said after meeting baby AJ, they immediately began to prepare for a highly specialised procedure using brachytherapy, most often used to treat certain types of cancer.

In AJ’s case, it had resulted in a growth causing glaucoma, or severe pressure in the eye, that could lead to loss of sight or even loss of the eye itself.

“While the growth in AJ’s eye was not cancerous, it needed to be eradicated to prevent the eventual loss of his eye,” explains Dr Mustak. ERICA Croxford's son AJ was diagnosed with a rare skin condition, juvenile xanthogranuloma, which resulted in a growth inside his left eye. | Supplied “The doctors I spoke to couldn’t tell me what it was but did not seem too concerned, so I tried to put it out of my mind.

“I rushed him to the doctor and that is when the journey really began. At the time he was just four months old,” Erica said. By this stage the pressure in AJ’s eye had increased dramatically and he had to undergo several treatments as well as four operations to try and treat the glaucoma and the tumour in his eye.
