Poppy, from St Austell, Cornwall, was diagnosed with the blood cancer in 2022 and finished her treatment in September.They found she had relapsed with another type of leukaemia and she is now receiving chemotherapy. Poppy's mother Abby said: "We thought our life was going to get back to some normality, and it did for six months. And then it all came crashing down again."According to the NHSAbby is hoping her son Oliver can donate his stem cells for a bone marrow transplant, but the family are still waiting to see if he is a match.
She said: "We're praying he's going to be a match for Poppy. But, if not, they will have to look on the global register to see if they can find somebody else who could be a match."
