Cancer is scary for anyone, but it’s especially hard for children and their families. Some doctors and nurses do whatever they can to brighten their patients’ days. Take this precious moment, for example, when a team of nurses performed a Disney song alongside a three-year-old girl suffering from cancer.

Diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma, Millie McColl began intense treatment at the New Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. A group of six nurses decided to have some fun with the youngster while working a later shift one night in attempts to lift her spirit while undergoing chemotherapy. The nurses handed Millie a microphone and played Let It Go, the popular song from Disney’s Frozen, for her to sing along to.

Laying on the bed, Millie bursts into song while five nurses stand as her dancing backup singers. When Millie hears the sound of her voice, she becomes immediately shy and offers the microphone to the nurse lying next to her to carry on. Without skipping a beat, the nurse picks up the microphone and begins a duet.

It is not until later on that Millie grows in confidence once again. The description from Millie’s Journey Facebook page reads, “So this didn’t quite go as I had pictured in my head but we all had fun and as always Millie is showing chemo won’t bring her down!”

According to Cancer.org, Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that starts in certain very early forms of nerve cells found in an embryo or fetus. The term neuro refers to nerves, while blastoma refers to a cancer that affects immature or developing cells. This type of cancer occurs most often in infants and young children.
