A teen has been told he will have to undergo chemotherapy after finding a ping pong ball sized lump on the side of his neck.
Alfie Connell, from Bootle but now lives in Walton, felt unwell last month, with his family putting it down to the stresses of revising for his upcoming GCSEs in May. But when he found a lump on the back of his neck they knew something was amiss.
His parents, Antoinette and Ashley took the 15-year-old to the walk-in centre where they were told them to take him to hi GP first thing the next day. After a trip to the doctors, they were immediately referred to Alder Hey for tests.
