A devastated mother has spoken of the moment she had to tell her 13-year-old boy he isn't going to make it, after he started limping at the beginning of June. Arnold Chappin, 13, was taken to see his GP by mum Ruth after he lost his balance and started limping at the start of this month.
Arnold then started struggling to put on his socks and shoes and was finding it difficult to use his left hand. He was taken for tests and an MRI scan - where doctors found a 'large mass' on his brain.
Last Wednesday, his parents were told that Arnold has developed an aggressive tumour called Brain Stem Glioma, and may have between six months and a year left to live, reports MEN.
