After rare cancer nearly took his life, Jake Kislingbury is now learning to live life completely blind.
Doctors diagnosed the three-year old with Burkitt s lymphoma, a rare and rapidly growing cancer that most often strikes children and young adults.
Jake s cancer is now in remission.
But doctors have told the Kislingbury family that Jake will never see again. His tumour crushed his optic nerve.
Verity Kislingbury says she s proud of her blonde-haired little boy, who bravely battled his gruelling cancer treatments while, at the same time, suddenly losing his vision.
