A schoolboy was diagnosed with cancer just two weeks after the funeral of his identical twin brother, who died from a brain tumour.
Jack Parton, now 15, was diagnosed with leukaemia after doctors initially believed he was suffering from PTSD following the death of his brother Ben, who passed away in December 2019, just ten days before Christmas.
Ben was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord, after bouts of vomiting and painful headaches. Despite two surgeries, 30 sessions of radiotherapy and two cycles of chemotherapy, he died eight months after his diagnosis.
