‘Suffolk doctors have made me feel better – now I dream of becoming one’

A six-year-old girl diagnosed with cancer says she dreams of following in the footsteps of “kind and very polite” doctors who make her “feel better”.

Bellamy-Rose, of Feltwell, Norfolk, was given the all clear in November after being diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2023.

She underwent seven intense chemotherapy treatments over two years, lost her hair and had to be fed through a tube.

Bellamy-Rose is now thriving, as is her family, and recently managed to become a doctor for the day at West Suffolk Hospital – a dream she told the BBC she hopes will become a reality when she’s older.

“I liked the blood test classes more than the other classes because they gave me a teddy and I did two billion blood tests,” Bellamy-Rose said.

“I want to be a doctor because they are good and kind and very polite and make me feel good. Yes (they are my heroes) so I want to work with them,” she added.
