A family thought that their child may have had the flu but it turned out that she had a rare brain tumour.Indeg Roberts, seven, had been vomiting on-and-off for months and then rapidly started losing weight before medics discovered that she had a rare form of cancer in November 2020.

Mum Ceri, who lives in Gwynedd, Wales, states that although she was concerned about her daughter's symptoms, she never believed that a brain tumour would turn out to be the cause, North Wales Live reports.Ceri said: “She had been vomiting on-and-off for a while but we just thought it was the flu at first, we had spoken to the doctors over the phone and they thought it could be lots of different things, like stomach problems, or anxiety because of the pandemic. "But towards the beginning of November 2020, Indeg started to go off her food and was losing weight rapidly.

I took her to the GP and she was referred to the hospital in Bangor, and was taken for a CT scan. "At that point, I said to the nurse, 'I know what you're looking for,' I knew they were looking for a tumour.

Within about an hour we had the results back and that's when they told us."When the doctor said it was a brain tumour, I just fell to my knees and cried and cried - it was like an out of body experience.
