A pea-sized lump on the cheek of a 16-year-old girl in the United Kingdom was sent home with antibiotics by her dentist; but, after the mass swelled to the size of a "tennis ball" in a matter of weeks, the girl was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

"It started right at the top and then it started spreading all the way down (my face) - and after six weeks, it was the size of a tennis ball," she stated.

The girl had rhabdomyosarcoma, and after an ultrasound and biopsy, it was determined that she would need chemotherapy, which caused her hair to come out completely. Ms. Gaby claimed that the chemotherapy was a "shock" to her body and that she felt "insecure" as a result of the severe fatigue, nausea, and hair loss she endured.

"Your body isn't quite sure how to respond to it. I felt so weak, I couldn't even walk to the bathroom without passing out," she remarked.

The publication claims that the teenager underwent multiple surgeries, one of which involved removing the entire tumor over the course of 14 hours. Now that she has experienced remission, it has been a "huge weight off (her) shoulders."

In October 2021, Gaby Maurice, 16, of Cambridgeshire, noticed a pea-sized bump in her right cheek. She was later diagnosed at the age of 13 with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the soft tissues.

Her mother Olga, 39, a factory worker, initially took her to the dentist because they thought the lump was connected to her teeth; however, when the swelling got worse, they were told to see a general practitioner.

At first, Gaby said, "it was like a little pea, but it was growing bigger and bigger every single day."

"It began at the top of my face and spread all the way down. After six weeks, it had grown to the size of a tennis ball."

After undergoing multiple surgeries, including a 14-hour operation to remove the entire tumor, Gaby received maintenance chemotherapy and proton beam therapy, a form of radiotherapy.
