A six-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour after she started vomiting on New Year's Eve has been "robbed of her childhood".

Lily McKelvey has been given up to 12 months to live following the tragic diagnosis. Medics discovered a mass in her brain after she began vomiting at the end of last year, Stoke Sentinel reported.
