Mum left devastated as son, 5, diagnosed with brain tumour after 'suffering headaches'

A mother who thought her son might need glasses after he complained of having headaches was left devastated after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Sophie Hunt admits could never have imagined that her five-year-old son Lenny was suffering from an aggressive type of cancer when he first started to take unwell.

The 33-year-old explained that the doctor took them into the family room at the hospital to share the heartbreaking news with them, Manchester Evening News reports. She said: "I can’t even explain it; I went into complete devastation mode.

"I didn’t know what to do, he was in the other room waiting for us to come back with the news. It’s just a mother’s worst nightmare, it’s your child, your baby and you do everything you can for them.”
