Smith recounted that after noticing “something suspicious” on Whimsy, they took her to the emergency room, followed by a paediatrician and children’s hospital, which led to a biopsy confirming cancer. She added that the diagnosis indicated the cancer had spread, necessitating immediate chemotherapy treatments for Whimsy.
