I detected my son’s rare cancer — using just my phone’s camera flash

Her life changed in a flash.
A UK mom of four says she was able to detect her infant son’s rare cancer using the flash on her phone’s camera.
Sarah Hedges, 40, was cooking a shepherd’s pie dinner in November 2022 when she looked across at her 3-month-old son, Thomas, and noticed a “white glow” in his eye.
Hedges said it was reflecting the light “like a cat’s eye” — so she used her phone to take photos with the flash on to see if she could spot it again.
“I couldn’t see it again, so then I wondered whether it was just the lighting,” Hedges, a support worker from Gillingham, Kent, told SWNS.
“It was playing on my mind, so the next day I moved Thomas around in different rooms near lighting and eventually, I saw it again,” she added.
