THE family of a two-year-old fighting stage four cancer were dismissed three times in a month by doctors before her diagnosis.
Flora Gentleman, from Aberlady, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in April after being misdiagnosed with a viral infection by her GP three times in March.
Flora’s parents, Stephanie Kent and Jamie Gentleman, said they took Flora, who is non-verbal, to the doctors for almost a year before their daughter was diagnosed with cancer.
Stephanie said: “I believe this has probably been going on a lot longer than we initially thought.
“For the previous year, we have been going back and forth to various doctors, we’ve seen specialists, we’ve delved into all different areas of Flora’s health and development.
