The worried parents of a young boy who thought that his "stiff" leg was from too much gaming were horrified to discover that he had an extremely rare type of cancer. Jack Hansen, aged nine, suddenly fell unwell earlier this year after complaining of a stiff leg and being sick before school.
After being taken to A&E Jack, of Barton, had a number of scans and it was revealed he had a brain tumour. After being rushed to Leeds Hospital, more scans were carried out and further tumours were discovered in Jack's spine.
After a 15-hour procedure in April, the tumours were removed, but sadly that was only the beginning of Jack's illnesses. He and his mum, Becky Hansen, were told that Jack may have something called Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), a condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves, Hull Live reports.
