I read this story because I thought it would be interesting, but it is so appallingly written I just couldn't. Don't the #BBC edit their output?

If you spot a sign or symptom of retinoblastoma, have your child’s eyes checked out by a health professional ASAP. The most common signs include a white glow in the pupil of the eye or a squint, where the eyes do not look in the same direction. Visit buff.ly/3aU2F8w

A squint, where the eyes do not look in the same direction, can sometimes be a symptom of retinoblastoma. In many cases, it’s nothing more than a squint but all children should be checked out just in case, as it’s the second most common sign of retinoblastoma #RbWeek

The iris – the coloured part of the eye – can change colour in one eye, sometimes only in one area, when a child has retinoblastoma (childhood eye cancer). If you notice a change in the colour of your baby or child’s iris, let a healthcare professional know #RbWeek
