The family of a 15-year-old boy with a life-threatening brain tumour say they can hardly afford to eat properly and no longer have heating on in the day while caring for him during a cost of living crisis.
The Aneurin Bevan University Health Board was forced to cancel Noah Herniman’s routine annual MRI scan last year due to pressures the health board was facing from the pandemic.
Months later Noah, who suffers from neurofibromatosis meaning tumours grow on his nerve tissues, was diagnosed with an inoperable benign tumour at the core of his brain. You can read about Noah’s diagnosis here.
