Little Liané has lived with cancer, cerebral palsy, blindness and brain damage all before the age of four years old. Despite the odds, she beat the Big C. Now, hope is on the cards for Liané to push through the aftermath and live a better life:
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (10 January 2024) — When Bianca Rossouw’s daughter Liané was in the very early phases of her life, she experienced a series of happenings most won’t go through in an entire lifetime.
Firstly, her legs stopped working unexpectedly. This happened during the peak of the pandemic, which meant that getting help was more stressful than ever.
Her family would come to discover that she had a tumour in her chest (initially diagnosed as pneumonia) which eventually was confirmed as cancer. All of this was the reality for a little girl who was not even a year old yet.
The rabbit hole of challenges furthered, and Liane was also diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain damage, epilepsy, and the loss of her sight. She is also on a feeding tube.
Despite every single challenge, the toddler who will turn four in April, has proved the odds wrong.
This little legend beat cancer, and she did it despite her doctors telling her family that the chemo was not working. She has been in remission for just over a year and a half.
Liané still has a lot to overcome. As her mom Bianca puts it:
“Liané has kicked cancer’s butt, but was left with the aftermath.” Her parents are now seeking dire medical treatment to help their baby’s life improve.
Her treatment comes at the massive cost of R50,000 every three months.
