The dad of a brave Scots tot who lost his eye after doctors spotted a lethal tumour has hailed hero medics for saving him.
Specialist doctors tried to blast the tumour with chemotherapy in a bid to shrink it, but despite their efforts they were forced to take drastic action and surgically remove Caleb’s left eye and everything surrounding. “Nobody knew what was going on so it took three or four visits before we were referred to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.“We had a dreadful four day wait, then the results showed it was in fact cancerous.
“The news brought our lives to a complete stop. It absolutely broke us. As a parent, you must stay strong for your kids, but this was on a different level. There were arguments, tears and sometimes thoughts of totally giving up. Kyle has told how he and Chloe, 24, were in and out the hospital every week for two to three days at a time with the whole ordeal taking over their lives.
