Dad shares heartbreaking photo of his daughter 's cancer battle as she's been given weeks to live

 A dad has shared a heart breaking photo of his four year old daughter who has been given just 14 days to live .For 13 months, Jessica Whelan has been fighting stage four neuroblastoma, a cancer of nerve cells.
Andy Whelan posted the image on Facebook after being told his daughter had just weeks to live.Andy and his wife have decided to stop her treatment after doctors said they could do nothing more.

He wrote:

“This photograph was made in a moment that we as parents could offer her no comfort, her pushing us away whilst she rode out this searing pain in solitude.This is the true face of cancer, my baby girl’s blood vessels protruding from beneath her skin, a solitary tear running down her cheek, her body stiffened and her face contorted in pain.” 

“Perhaps by seeing this photo people not in our position will be made aware of the darkness that is childhood cancer, perhaps these same people may be able to do something about it so that in the future no child has to suffer this pain, so that no parent has to bear witness to their own flesh and blood deteriorating daily.”
