Abigail & Ayla’s Story · Sydney, Australia
4 min readAbigail was beside Ayla when she was diagnosed with BCOR-ITD sarcoma at six months old. She watched her baby endure intensive chemotherapy in 2024 and reach remission.
In March 2026, another tumour was found and removed. Tests found active cancer cells, and the recommended proton radiotherapy meant taking her little girl overseas.
01 · The News No Mother Wants Twice
After Ayla entered remission, Abigail and her family began rebuilding life around childhood rather than treatment. The discovery of a new tumour brought them back into appointments, decisions and uncertainty.
Her medical team recommended proton radiotherapy. It is not available locally, leaving Abigail to work out how to get Ayla to Florida for the care her doctors recommend.
Abigail is fighting for the treatment her doctors recommend and the childhood Ayla deserves.
