A Northumberland boy who has been given a terminal cancer diagnosis is set to celebrate his "biggest and best" birthday next week.
Cyrus Henderson, 12, from Amble, was diagnosed with an aggressive strain of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in February 2021. Against the odds, he went into remission after a CarT transplant but then relapsed again on July 15 2022, a day before his 12th birthday.
On Wednesday June 7 this year, his mum Kizi received the heartbreaking news that Cyrus has just months left to live. Now, she wants to make sure that he can make the most of the time he has left and is planning a huge birthday bash on July 1 at the Newcastle United Foundation.
