Five-year-old Nicola Francis has undergone 20 operations after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive giant cell tumour.
Her mother, Iveta Kosova, sought medical help after Nicola's jaw kept swelling following a fall.
A biopsy at Northampton Hospital confirmed the condition, leading to treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Now, the family remains in limbo, unsure which treatment will be effective.
