Ashley explained the situation in a video posted on social media.
He said, "Last week, we had the bone marrow test and the lumber puncture and bloods taken to send to Singapore in the hope that they could create a CAR-T therapy to save Azaylia's life."
"Then, we had to have a CT scan on her head and the results came back the next day, saying that Azaylia's got two very big tumors... on her brain."

He explained, "the intrathecal treatment that is usually given to treat leukemia in the spine or the brain will not be available because she has too much pressure with these tumors."
"If they tried to even go through the spinal tap it would kill her."

Azaylia has days to live
Ashley said consultants believe, "she's only got one, two days to live — and it could even be that night."
He spoke to doctors about, "potential options of radiotherapy to target the tumors in her head."
However, another CT scan showed tumors in her stomach, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Ashley continued, "Her disease is that aggressive that nothing they are doing... is working."
"She's one in a trillion... but unfortunately so is her disease."
He explained that given the circumstances, doctors in Singapore, "can't create a CAR-T for her leukemia."

"So, that means we're going back home," Ashley continued.
"We're going back home and we're gonna try and make our baby as comfortable as possible."
"We're gonna be strong, and we're gonna go out with honor."

Taking Azaylia home
"She's had a tough, tough life," he went on.
"From eight weeks old she'd been in hospital having chemotherapy, operations, transplants."
"And I feel like for the last part of her life, I just want to take her home, see her like a baby and give her the best rest of her life that we can give her."
