Saoirse Ruane's family give update on cancer treatment

Saoirse Ruane's family have issued a positive update about the young girl's health.

The Toy Show star was diagnosed with a recurrent tumour earlier this year. Saoirse, aged 11, previously fought a rare bone cancer known as osteosarcoma and underwent a leg amputation.

Saoirse's mother Roseanna confirmed the family had a meeting with Saoirse's consultant in Crumlin. They were informed that Saoirse was responding well to chemotherapy amid her ongoing battle.

Roseanna wrote: "We took a little trip to Crumlin on Wednesday for a meeting with Saoirse's consultant. Nothing new to report only he is very happy she is tolerating her chemo drug well."
