A boy who thought he had long covid has been given a shock cancer diagnosis.
Freddie Woollard, nine, from Ellesmere Port, started feeling unwell in November 2021 after contracting coronavirus. When Freddie's symptoms persisted, his family began to think he was suffering with long covid however, in January, he was diagnosed with Wilms tumour.
Wilms tumour is a type of kidney cancer that affects around 85 children in the UK each year, and Freddie's dad Max, 33, described his son's diagnosis as a "bombshell".
