A teenager from Eccles who suffered waves of dizziness and sickness was given a life-changing diagnosis. Jayce Robinson, 15, was hit with the bouts of sickness and doctors suspected he was battling "vertigo or anxiety".
However, around 12 months later scans revealed he had a brain tumour. Mum Kirsty Newton, 38, knew something wasn’t right after her football-mad son began suffering from nausea and dizzy spells.
The top goalscorer soon grew unsteady on his feet and also complained of losing his hearing. The procedure to remove the tumour took 16 hours — and has left Jayce deaf in one ear. However, the youngster managed to smile throughout the traumatic period and hoping to make a full recovery.
