A sick teenager asked his mum if he was 'going to survive' after being diagnosed with a rare brain tumour
A sick teenager asked his mum if he was 'going to survive' after being diagnosed with a rare brain tumour.
"It all started about three weeks ago when he started limping on his left side," Ruth told the Manchester Evening News. "I noticed he was holding his arm up and that he seemed to be off balance and kept falling over a lot. Arnold was taken for neurological tests and an MRI scan by specialists in a paediatric unit. It was revealed that he had a left-sided weakness, was uncoordinated and his reflexes were not responding as they should.
"We couldn't believe it. We were shocked and just completely devastated. They told us if he didn't have radiation he has six to nine months to live, but with radiation treatment he could live for up to a year." "He kept saying 'am I going to lose my hair?' and 'am I going to be okay?' At the beginning we could reassure him because we weren't expecting it to be so devastating. As a parent, you are grasping onto any kind of hope.
"You have to just to try and carry on as much as you can. You have to try to forget about it all for a few minutes and pretend it's not really happening.
