BRAVE cancer battler Madison Allan proved she was a real mummy’s girl by holding up a painting she made with the touching message ‘I love my mum’.
The seven-year-old, from Lower Darwen, who suffers from neuroblastoma, can also be seen waving from her isolation room on the first day of her new treatment.
Madison has been confined to the room since she was injected with a dose of radioactive iodine to kill off cancer cells at The Christie, Manchester, on Thursday.
She has been unable to have any sort of physical contact with her family, so decided to show her mum Samantha how much she misses her cuddles.
Madison’s grandma, Alison Foster, said: “She made it while she waited for her mum to visit her on Sunday.
She also wrote ‘my chick’ at the bottom, as that is what she calls her mum.
“She is in the isolation room but we can go into a small room next door to talk to her.
“She wasn’t quite right before she went in as she was quite lethargic from her birthday party and nervous about going into an isolation room.
“But she is feeling a lot better now and is still full of smiles.
“She is having a scan to see if the injection hit the mark. Hopefully she will be able to go home in the next couple of days once the radiation levels come down.
“The doctors said it is a good sign they’re not coming down too fast.”
Madison’s family won the battle to get £35,000 for new cancer treatment at The Christie, known as metaiodobenzylguanidine, last month.
She has already undergone trial chemotherapy treatment in Germany to shrink a tumour wrapped around her internal organs.
