This story
Tia was diagnosed with leukaemia at age four and underwent years of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and transplants through repeated relapses. The adult cancer drugs saved her life but caused nerve damage, memory problems, and disrupted her growth. Now thirteen, Tia uses a wheelchair much of the time while her mother Shaima campaigns for treatments designed for children.
