The family of a teenage boy who thought he was 'at it' when he asked to stay off school were left shocked after he was given a brain tumour diagnosis.
For two years, Callum Scott, 13, was plagued by sore heads in the morning and said it felt like his skull 'was going to burst'. But it wasn't until the teenager, from Livingston in West Lothian, told his family in February 2022 that he could only see colour from one eye that they decided to take him to an optician.
Callum was then referred to hospital and his family were devastated to learn he had a tumour 'almost the size of a golf ball' that had been growing for five years.
