[@betterbetty3542]

Poor Olivia... she is so adorable, I hope all went well and she's happy and healthy now!!

[@gailknight3128]

Hope beautiful Olivia gets well and her cancer doesn't come back.

[@kellyelena6968]

I have scheduled my appointment for donating blood tomorrow after work, I hope someone else does as well.

[@rebieroo99]

Kelly Elena one thing I would love to do but don't think I could

[@Artybodydoubling]

That tumour is insanely huge for a tiny baby!!!

[@mendozamaldonado8752]

It's so sad that a little baby like Olivia has to go through this😔 I hope she stays a happy baby

[@cerysarkison8320]

Olivia is soooo cute

[@chocolatelover4481]

Why couldn't they just use medical ultrasound to determine, whether Bethany has appendicitis?

[@jasminecalnan]

"She sleeps like a baby" "Um she is a baby" 😂

[@brookstaar9189]

I suffer from a condition called grumbling appendix. There are days where I cannot physically move because of the pain. I'm hoping to grow out of it

[@livviebennett5090]

My name is Olivia and when I was her age I had the same thing but mine didn't come back hope hers doesn't

[@captaincassbag7813]

Feel really sorry for Olivia, to have her cancerous tumour come back, then having to have a liver transplant😢

[@greenpeas154]

I am surprised the tumour had not been discovered before the birth via scan?

[@Kakapo839]

greenpeas154 yeah i was going to say the same thing!

[@sarahjains8024]

greenpeas154 in the UK, the last scan we are offered is at 20 weeks. Other than that, we don't have any unless there's reason to like growth problems etc. You can pay for a private scan but they're not used for diagnostic purposes.

[@juliea9833]

She had a water birth; maybe they didn't do the amount of scans that most moms to be do. She may have had the earlier scans that may not have picked it up. But it is definitely questionable :/ even if they had known, they wouldn't have been able to do much of anything unless a doctor was willing to attempt an operation on an unborn baby.

[@mindrolling24]

In Australia, we have one scan at 18 weeks. Why would you need more? It is completely unnecessary unless something appears to be amiss on that one scan. Scans may seem benign but all investigations carry risks. I think they have many more done as 'routine' in the USA because they charge for them and thus someone makes a profit. We also don't have paediatricians and ob/gyns but simply have visits with a GP. Pregnancy isn't an illness.

[@ambergames3143]

I had a liver tumor when I was born but mine wasn't cancerous.

[@ohmeowzer1]

Poor baby liver cancer my heart breaks for the family , liver cancer is the worst ...

[@liezeepie]

My dad had liver cancer... he had over 100 maybe over 200 if I'm right. He lived only about 4 months after he was told that there was a few tumors... I miss him so much. I would give anything to spend at least a few more minutes with my dad.

[@liezeepie]

And my dad also had to get a liver tansplant, but urban was because his liver was failing ;c

[@ellahoad4647]

Watching the boy with the broken collarbone hurt my collarbone

[@erictaylor5462]

10:30 Just make sure it's not "schoolesitus" More than one of my friends ended up in surgery faking a tummy ache to get out of going to school.

[@madusanumberonefan1447]

[@epicdog2594]

merry Xmas to all of the patients

Girlie Gamers , I was trying to find an update, but no luck with any searches. I hope she is alive and well.

[@alexcleary1459]

[@lucindawinehouse2002]

Alex Cleary How old is Olivia Dixon now?

[@ellaworsley5676]

Alex Cleary How can she be in your class? This video was posted in 2016 so I'm pretty sure olivia is only about 2.

[@sarahstaley3052]

ILOVE YOU AND IMSS YOU

[@l0velyquiet194]

Poor babies, this is so sad that they have to go through this. American doctors probably would have caught it because of our LBGYN/fetal surgeon doctors, in not 100% sure if they have a good amount of those. Hope she heals and lives to have a wonderful life

[@pinkyblinders7352]

Just.like.fire_ Not necessarily. There cancerous tumours that get missed all the time worldwide. We have those type of doctors here as well, it's a rare cancer anyone could have missed it, especially in the womb. Also the parents, they chose a more natural approach and probably opted for less scans. They're just one of the unlucky few.

[@MarijeK]

Just.like.fire_ It sounds like you think the UK is some sort of third world country... It was a one in a million case, if it's not suspected, any doctor would have missed this.

[@mivi6845]

we have some awesome doctors here. Having had a premature and seeing some of the cases in the SCBU unit? I can only praise them: such an amazing dedication and they don't cost us a penny. Our taxes put to work to the service of health.
