A Christmas lights display has been created in memory of a 10-month-old little girl who was diagnosed with an extremely rare tumour.
Isabella Guisti was only seven months old when doctors found she had a rare Rhabdoid tumour.
Her parents, Beth Pryke and Franco Guisti, noticed a little lump on her chest and rushed her to the hospital.
Little Isabella was admitted to Addenbrooke's Hospital on November 2, 2022, and had all the necessary scans done.
The doctors diagnosed her with Rhabdoid tumour, an extremely rare condition that affects less than one person in every one million people.
Chemotherapy was the only method of treatment in Isabella’s case, and the doctors gave the therapy a 10% chance to work.
Sadly, Isabella died surrounded by her family in February of this year.
Her aunt, Kate Pryke, decided to create a Christmas light display on her house at 107 Mildmay Road, in Ipswich, in memory of the little angel and fundraise for East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
Ms Pryke said: “Isabella spent some time at Addenbrooke's Hospital around Christmas time last year, and then she came back home.
“Unfortunately, there wasn't much more that the doctors could do.
“She had some days out and enjoyed the time she had.
"Then in February, she spent her last few days at the Ipswich Treehouse Children's Hospice, where she sadly passed away with her mum and dad there.”
Isabella’s aunt added that the display, which is going to be switched on this weekend, will include photos of her niece and banners for EACH.
Ms Pryke opened online fundraising and hopes to collect funds that can help other children and their families.
