An Edinburgh schoolboy spent almost nine years of his life in and out of a local hospice after being diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was just an infant.
The family of Aaron Ross have shared the huge impact the CHAS hospice made on their lives after their son went through a host of treatments and end of life care.
Born in October 2010, Aaron had appeared to be a happy and healthy baby until he showed concerning symptoms at around three and a half months old. Going off food and losing a significant amount of weight, tests confirmed the devastating news that he was suffering with an inoperable tumour.
