Woman, from Togo, faces uncertain wait for indefinite leave to remain because of changes coming into force next month
The mother of a six-year-old cancer survivor has spoken of her “overwhelming” fear her daughter will be denied crucial treatment because of the government’s immigration crackdown.
The girl, from London, underwent two rounds of life-saving chemotherapy after being diagnosed at two with neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that mostly affects children.
She had a tumour removed on the day of her fourth birthday and is receiving ongoing specialist care at Great Ormond Street hospital in the capital.
The girl’s mother, who did not want to be named, said she feared her daughter’s healthcare would be stripped away as a result of the immigration changes due to come into force next month.
