A brave girl who has beaten leukaemia and will get to go home in time to celebrate her 11th birthday, has created a shield celebrating her recovery. Isabelle Flewers, from Laindon, has been battling blood cancer for the last six months and was finding it difficult to find the energy to focus on her studies. She was encouraged by her paediatric consultant, Kilali Ominu-evbota at Basildon Hospital to log on for a few hours a day, where she was set the project to create a Tudor-style shield. Isabelle s shield focused on her battle with leukaemia and her faith in the medical teams that looked after her while she received her chemotherapy treatment at the hospital.
