A 19-year-old described as a "cheeky chap" died months after suffering from stomach cramps.
Kyle Smith, from Litherland, went to the doctor when he struggled to go to the toilet resulting in cramps in his stomach in May 2021. After visiting his GP, they tested his urine for an infection but the results came back all clear.
Kyle was sent for further tests, and a 15cm by 15cm tumour was discovered in his abdomen in June 2021. The teenager was given the devastating news he had Ewing Sarcoma, a rare type of cancer. The cancer grew aggressively in Kyle's abdomen and impacted his bowel causing his stomach to swell which he described as leaving him "looking nine months pregnant."
