'My daughter kept falling asleep at school... I could never have imagined the real reason'
During the coronavirus pandemic, Karen Kinsella would come home to find her teenage daughter asleep when she was supposed to be doing school work.
Emily, who was 14 at the time, was immediately transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital and within days she underwent surgery to remove a section of the brain tumour in January 2021. "Emily was the only person in Manchester to finish the course of chemotherapy," Karen said. "Most children's bodies couldn't tolerate it for more than six months. She didn't moan once."
"Emily was actually shortlisted as BBC young artist of the year before all of this. When she finally got the call to come into casting it broke my heart as the reality that her life had changed hit me." "She was there for six days and we were told to prepare for the worst twice. By this time she had pneumonia and her lung had collapsed. But she just didn't give up.
