SMILING Lexi Taylor, who will be eight tomorrow, realised her dream when she celebrated recovery from a brain tumour and meningitis - by ringing a bell outside her York home. The Clifton Green Primary School pupil has undergone a torrid 10 months of cancer treatment for a rare brain tumour the size of a tangerine, which included a seven-and-a-half hour operation. The youngster also contracted meningitis - but has now been given the all-clear after treatment at Leeds General Infirmary. However, she wasn’t able to ring the bell on leaving hospital, a ritual at the end of chemotherapy or radiation treatments that has become common in hospitals and clinics nationwide in recent years, as the bell was in isolation due to current Covid-19 restrictions.
