Doctors discover growth on nine-year-old boy's brain after numerous severe nose bleeds

A nine-year-old boy is in agony and often left unable to walk after doctors discovered a growth on his brain. Carson Lee, whose twin Hunter Lee, sadly died when he was just 40 days old, is currently waiting a diagnosis for the growth which has made him devastatingly ill this year.

The rugby-loving school boy from Tylorstown in the Rhondda, who now lives in Burry Port, has battled with health issues for a big part of his life before he started experiencing severe headaches, weight loss and loss of function this summer. When Carson was a few weeks old his lungs collapsed and doctors told parents Martin Lee, 31, and Carly Lee, 32, that it was touch and go.

At the same time, his twin brother Hunter was fighting for his life after being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, sadly Hunter passed away shortly after. When Carson was 11 months old a spot appeared near to his eye which looked like a spider bite, he was treated but months later it reappeared.
