A two-year-old boy has had to learn to walk again after an adverse reaction to his cancer treatment meant he lost muscle mass in his legs. Max Kirk is currently undergoing treatment for a rare cancer called bilateral Wilms tumours.
He was diagnosed with the rare illness on his second birthday in December. Since then he has undergone extensive treatment at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, including chemotherapy.
It was an adverse reaction to the chemotherapy that impacted on his liver function, meaning he was laid up for three weeks. This resulted in him having to learn to walk again earlier this year due to losing muscle mass in his legs, reports CheshireLive.
