«Breaking News» 'Little princess' toddler dies from a fist-sized brain tumour

A toddler has died from a brain tumour that doctors allegedly dismissed as being a gluten intolerance.

Lavaya Howard had undergone 40 gruelling operations as surgeons desperately battled to rid her of the fist-sized mass.

Doctors allowed Lavaya, who had spent 18 months in hospital, to finally go home earlier this month after they admitted there was nothing more they could do for her.

But the 'little princess' passed away in the early hours of Monday - just two days after she celebrated her second birthday.

Aleisha Cullen and Luke Howard, from Grimsby, have been left heartbroken over the loss of their daughter.

In an emotional post on social media, Ms Cullen wrote: 'I love you Lavaya Mai, fly my special princess.' 

Lavaya was found to have a brain tumour the size of a fist when she was just six months old.

Ms Cullen has previously said she was forced to beg for further investigations into her daughter's symptoms.

She told the Grimsby Telegraph in August that she was constantly told Lavaya was healthy and she was sent home from Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.

The tumour was only spotted through an MRI scan when the toddler was rushed to hospital after having a seizure. 

Lavaya was then transferred to Sheffield Children's Hospital, where she spent the past 18 months under 24-hour care.

Surgeons conducted 40 operations on her brain, some lasting as long as 14 hours, in an attempt to rid her of the tumour.  

Grueling bouts of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and a new trial procedure all proved unsuccessful. 

Lavaya could only breathe through a tube and was fed directly into her bowel as she was unable to swallow or process food in her stomach.  

Lavaya rang the bell at Sheffield Children's Hospital on September 3, signalling that she was finally on her way home. 

But her family were determined to keep fighting and find alternative treatments.

Lavaya's family have arranged a special balloon release this weekend in memory of her, asking everyone attending to wear pink as a tribute to their 'little princess'.

A JustGiving page has also been set up in order to help the family cover the funeral costs for their daughter.

MailOnline has approached Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, for a comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
