A 12-year-old boy died in hospital days after his family received a phone call while on holiday at Center Parcs telling them he needed to go into hospital. Edward Hunstone's were called while they were on holiday at the end of January. He died on February 22 this year.
Edward had been diagnosed with grade two pilomyxoid astrocytoma - a type of brain tumour - when he was three, after he started being "randomly sick". At first doctors said it was a food intolerance.
Medics eventually found a mass on his brain and he underwent chemotherapy for eight years. In 2020 he needed a shunt installed to draw fluid away from his brain and in 2021 Edward lost the vision in his right eye, reports The Echo.
