Imogin Appiah tucked into her first full English breakfast in months, before her second round of chemotherapy began.

The brave six-year-old, who has been battling leukaemia, was allowed out of hospital for the first time in two months, last week.

She goes to the Royal Marsden each day for her chemotherapy treatment as an outpatient, but in the evenings she is back at home leading the semblance of a normal life.

Devoted mum Sheila spoke to the Croydon Guardian as her little girl tucked into her first fried egg and sausage breakfast in months.

With Imogin finally out of hospital, she wanted to give her a treat before her next round of chemotherapy begins.

She said: “This is the first time she has been out in months, she is thoroughly enjoying her breakfast and we are going shopping in a bit for some picture frames for her paintings.

“At least I can give Imogin a sense of normality now.

“She can play in her own room with her toys and help me do some of the house chores.”

The little girl, who was in isolation in St George’s Hospital, Tooting, for over a month, is finally able to play with children of her own age again.

While she is at the Royal Marsden Hospital she plays with other children who are also haveing chemotherapy treatment.

Mrs Appiah said: “These children have also lost their hair, they are in the same situation as she is and there is no stigma because she has no hair.”

While the single mum waits anxiously to see if the chemotherapy has any effect on Imogin’s leukaemia, the Afro-Caribbean leukaemia Trust are organising another bone marrow registration drive to try and find a match to help save Imogin.

Due to the desperate shortage of donors within the black, mixed race and ethnic minority communities, Imogin only has a one in 100,000 chance of finding a bone marrow match, compared with about one in five if she was white.

At a drive last month more than 70 people turned up to register.

The next bone marrow registration drive will be held at Imogin’s old school.

Beverley De Gale, the founder of the ACLT and mum of Daniel De Gale, who suffered from Leukaemia, said: “Parents and Staff of Elmwood Infant and Primary School and the general public can help to address this imbalance by supporting this initiative to see if you could help Imogin, or help other cancer sufferers awaiting life saving matches.”

Mrs Appiah said: “It is so important people attend this drive, you could be the one to help Imogin or one of the countless other children here at Royal Marsden suffering from the same thing.”

The drive is being held on Wednesday, April 29, from 2.30pm till 7.30pm.

It will include a special presentation explaining the registration and donation process.
