Reality star Ashley Cain reveals baby girl could have just 'days left to live'
Doctors have discovered tumours throughout the eight-month-old's body
Former Ex On The Beach star Ashley Cain has revealed the devastating news that his eight-month-old daughter Azaylia could just have days left to live after doctors discovered more tumours throughout her body, in her stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys and in her brain.
Ashley and Azaylia's mum Safiyya Vorajee thanked fans earlier this month after a monumental effort to raise over £1 million for specialised treatment in Singapore, but sadly, specialists have said this treatment will now not be possible.
Sharing an emotional 10-minute video, Ashley told fans his 'world has fell apart' after discovering the news.
He said, "Where do I start? Where do I start? A lot has happened. A whole lot. Too much to write in a caption, too much to explain in a picture, so I thought I'd do a video.
"So last week we had the bone marrow test and the lumber puncture and bloods taken to send to Singapore in the hope that they could create a CAR-T therapy to save Azaylia's life.
"Then we had to have a CT scan on her head and the results came back the next day, saying that Azaylia's got two very big tumours on her brain.
"They also said that the intrathecal treatment that is usually given to treat leukemia in the spine or the brain will not be available, because she has too much pressure with these tumours. And if they tried to even go through the spinal tap it would kill her. At that point, obviously, our world came down."
Ashley then added, "Because obviously, the current chemotherapy that we were doing was for her blood, not the tumours in her brain.
"Consultants said that they think she's only got one, two days to live, and it could even be that night. So, we took Azaylia home with the palliative care team and stuff.
"It was scary. You walk into your little daughter's room and there's big oxygen tanks and stuff like that and it was horrible.
"We took her home. She was on high levels of pain relief and we tried to enjoy every little bit we could, but it was tough. We got through the first night, we got through the second night, but we noticed that Azaylia wasn't really here properly."
Ashley's girlfriend Safiyya also shared the incredibly sad news with her followers, writing, 'With a heavy painful heart i share the saddest news of my life 😢 ❤️🙏🏼
'After Azaylia’s CT and ultrasound scan we have been informed by consultants that they have found tumours in Azaylia’s brain, but also in her kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen. Consultants said there is no way to tackle the tumours on her brain because of the high pressure in her head. Her chemotherapy is also not reducing the disease in her blood anymore because it is that aggressive. Today we also found out that Singapore has not been able to create a CART treatment to cure Azaylia because of the rarity and aggressiveness of her leukemia. This was our last, our only and our final option to save Azaylia and her disease was even too complex for them. So we will be now returning home with our beautiful baby to give her the best possible time left that we can.
'I am so proud of my baby girl she has been fighting for so so long, and doesn’t deserve this to happen to her! there isn’t enough words out there to describe the heartache & pain I’m feeling but I’m incredibly honoured to have become a mummy to my precious girl❤️
'I don’t have many words at this difficult time But for now Thankyou for all your love & support for Azaylia and us as a family ❤️❤️❤️'. (sic)
Our thoughts are with Ashley, Safiyya and baby Azaylia at this difficult time. ❤️
