A FAMILY has been left devastated after their 16-month-old tot received a heartbreaking diagnosis.
Harper Walker was just 13 months old when her parents started noticing a bruise on her eyelid.
Mum Jenny Huddart and dad Adam Walker initially thought the bruise must have come from a minor accident when playing with a toy as baby Harper was becoming more mobile. However, after the bruise kept growing and started to push her eye out of shape, they knew something was wrong.
The family, from Swinton, Salford, received the devastating diagnosis just after Easter after a number of tests that Harper a rare form of cancer known as Neuroblastoma, a condition that affects around only 100 children per year. Further tests would go to show this was a stage four, high risk, cancer metastases in multiple locations across her body.
Mum-of-five Jenny told the M.E.N.: "Harper was born with hip dysplasia and was in cast until last December and started moving more after that.
"We noticed in mid-February a little black dot near her eye but because she had been starting to move around more we thought she'd just hit herself with a toy.
