Every time you play, you’re helping a child like Ava-Grace fight cancer

We noticed Ava had hand, foot and mouth (HFM). However, by the afternoon we had noticed her right eye looked a little bigger, her iris had darkened, and her pupil was not dilating correctly. So, I called her doctor. He could not see the back of her eye and told us he would rather Ava get checked over so we were admitted to hospital. 

The hospital then confirmed they could not see the back or her eye and that she no red eye reflex. So, we went back to the ward for a sleepless night and hourly observations. The next day we saw the senior ophthalmologist, who did an eye exam he told us Ava has a large mass in her eyeball and told us that this mass retinoblastoma. Our hearts just sunk and the world around felt like it had stopped.

Treatment options were explained and after discussing her case with fellow doctors they decided that the safest option for her would be a full eye removal surgery. Before surgery could go ahead Ava needed an MRI to make sure the tumour hadn’t travelled to the optic nerves. If it had she would need to complete chemotherapy before the surgery. We were called two days later to say they were happy with the results and chemotherapy wasn’t needed. Surgery was a success. Then was a long road to recovery, especially waiting for the biopsy to confirm they had all the cancer, but we felt confident that we were heading in the right direction. Overall, she is doing well and adjusting to life with just one eye.
