An Edinburgh teenager has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer affecting his hip after complaining of a persistent pain in his leg.
Kieran Smart was just 14 when he was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a type of cancer that can affect both the pelvis and lungs and is more frequent in young males.
At the start of 2022, keen footballer Kieran noticed a persistent, yet hard to describe, pain in his leg which got so bad he had to give up the sport. Kieran's parents and teachers at the school initially put the issue down to growing pains and thought nothing of it.
