There may finally be good news for cancer sufferer Heidi Loughlin - who suffered heart break when her daughter Ally died at just 8 days old - as she revealed her treatment seems to be working.
A charity webpage set up by a cancer patient from Portishead has passed its target 60 times over.
Heidi Loughlin discovered she had an aggressive form of breast cancer when she was 20 weeks pregnant. She knew her baby would have to be born early to allow for her to have potentially life-giving treatment and that she would be cared for in an incubator.
She also knew she would lose her hair to chemotherapy so she and a friend decided to have their heads shaved for Bristol's St Michael's Hospital Cots for Tots appeal.
That was where the fundraising started and it has since mushroomed.
Despite Heidi putting off treatment to give her unborn baby the best start in life, daughter Ally Louise Smith was born by Caesarian on 11 December, weighing just 2lb 5oz. She passed away on Saturday 19 December.
