Dad-of-three Lee Young thought he had pulled a muscle while playing golf. But as he rubbed heat cream into his side one day, he discovered a lump that hadn't been there before.
Medics told him not to be alarmed, that the lump was only 'gristle'. After being sent for some investigative tests however, Lee found that at just 55-years-old, he was being diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cancer.
A scan revealed an 8.5cm-long tumour near his kidneys - the location made it inoperable. The tumour was also found to be a secondary cancer with doctors being unable to discover the root cause of Lee's disease, called cancer of the unknown primary (CUP), making it all the harder to treat.
