Olivia Muller satisfied with handling of cancer bungle affecting her son Isaiah (ABC News)
The mother of one of 11 children who received an overdose of chemotherapy at Adelaide's Women's and Children's Hospital says she is satisfied with the way the problem has been dealt with.
Isaiah Muller, 3, had treatment for a rare eye cancer.
His mother, Olivia, says side-effects Isaiah suffered from his overdosed treatment were no worse than she expected.
"I guess on the hospital side of things - I can only speak for myself and our specialist - but they've informed us and they've you know done the best that they can to ensure that, you know, there's not going to be any immediate damage," she said.
"Obviously it hasn't affected him in the short term and hopefully, and most likely, not in the long term.
"I can understand that a lot of the families would be, you know, upset because, you know, it's a lot to go through something like this with your child anyway so putting that on top of it I can understand both ways."
