Today we are joined by parents Jonny and Laura.
Their daughter Saoirse Fearon was recently diagnosed with Adrenocortical carcinoma when she was 3 after they shared some concerns with a public health nurse visiting her new baby brother.
It’s an extremely rare cancer, 1 in every 6 million people in the world have been diagnosed.
There is a genetic component to this cancer and so Laura and Jonny were tested and it was discovered that Laura and Saoirse have Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) a rare hereditary disorder that increases the risk you will develop cancer - and for women there is 100% chance of breast cancer.
This is a lot for one family to handle & while it's such an alarming story they share it with huge hope, strength & love.
