My teenager's 'growing pains' turned out to be deadly – now her little brother is going to save her life
When Ruby Chiege came home from school one afternoon in agony, her mum Debra assumed it was just growing pains. But just 24 hours later, their lives were thrown into turmoil – ultimately leading one family member to make a great sacrifice.
The Lowry Academy pupil was kept off school the following day as the pain persisted. When the teenager fainted in her room later that evening, Debra knew something was seriously wrong. “There was a long wait for an ambulance so her grandma took us back to hospital,” Debra, 38, told the Manchester Evening News .
Ruby remained in hospital for chemotherapy treatment for four months before being allowed home last week. Sadly, the chemotherapy has not destroyed all of the leukaemia cells and the cancer still remains. "It’s turned our lives upside down. I have three other kids at home and I haven’t seen much of them over the period of what Ruby has been going through. I’m on sick leave at work and I have bills and all sorts catching up.
