Downpatrick family's turmoil after son diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer

The family of a young man from Co Down have told how their lives changed forever the day they were told their son had cancer.

Jordan Kearney, who is from Downpatrick, had been suffering from debilitating headaches for months and his parents say these issues were dismissed as depression and migraines. The 22-year-old was later diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, with a tumour so deep seated that it is inoperable.

Now living in Aberdeenshire, Jordan is currently going through chemotherapy, but with treatment options limited, family and friends are fundraising for specialist treatments.
