'Twenty doctors thought my baby's cancer was just a birthmark'

A mother has revealed how 20 doctors dismissed her baby daughter’s rare cancer as a birthmark - until it grew to the size of a grapefruit.

Yvonne Bull, 32, claims she was told there was 'nothing to worry about' when her baby Isabel was born with a purple mark on the left-hand side of her face.

But now the little girl is undergoing chemotherapy after the mark, which was found to be a tumour, trebled in size within a month and covered her left ear.

Isabel, who is four months old, is recovering after she lost her ear when medics carried out an operation to remove the growth. Full story...
