A mum has told of her anguish after her baby girl was repeatedly sent home by bungling doctors who missed a deadly brain tumour the size of a GRAPEFRUIT.

Little Esmai Wright is now battling 50/50 odds of survival after she was sent home from hospital several times despite suffering multiple seizures.

Mum Chloe Wright, 26, said she was given a "different diagnosis" every time they went to A&E before being sent on their way and told to wait for a referral letter.

Bartender Chloe was assured her daughter was "perfectly healthy" even though she was "vacant behind her eyes" and having regular seizures.

The tot was finally diagnosed with a rare and aggressive anaplastic ependymoma tumour after suffering one devastating seizure which lasted 20 minutes.

A CT scan revealed Esmai had a tumour the size of a grapefruit which had caused her entire brain to be pushed over to the left side of her head.

She has been undergoing gruelling chemotherapy which has left her with painful ulcers and burns in her mouth which Chloe treats with ice cream on her dummy.
