Over deze aflevering

<p>This week on Happy Mum, we are joined by strong, inspiring and incredible mother of two Sophie Derry.</p><br><p>When Sophie's daughter Odette started vomiting on car journeys and having headaches, doctors initially put it down to travel sickness. An eye test changed everything, revealing a brain tumour that would lead to emergency surgery and fifteen further operations over seven months. Before the family could catch their breath, Sophie's younger daughter Eliza was diagnosed with leukaemia.</p><br><p>Sophie opens up to Gi about what it's like to face childhood cancer not once but twice -- the fear, the exhaustion, and the moments of hope.</p><br><p>If you’d like to show your support for some of the charities that have been there for Sophie, you can find links to them below:</p><br><p>PASIC&nbsp;</p><p>https://www.pasic.org.uk</p><br><p>When You Wish Upon a Star&nbsp;</p><p>https://www.whenyouwishuponastar.org.uk</p><br><p>Young Lives v Cancer&nbsp;</p><p>https://www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
