'I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at 13 after spotting lump on my neck'

A schoolboy was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer after finding a lump on his neck. Now aged Callum Shallcross is bravely telling his story.

When the doctors told Callum and his mum he had cancer it came as a devastating blow. He said: “I was given the news twice. When I was told by an A&E consultant I zoned out and dissociated from reality.

“I went into my own mind and was staring blankly. My mum broke down. I was told again by my oncologist, and that time I broke down.”
