A schoolboy found out he had an inoperable brain tumour after a chance trip to the opticians. Jacob Coldman was shocked to discover there was an issue when he went for a routine eye test in August 2018.
The check-up had been booked for his younger brother but his mum decided to send Jacob along too - which proved a timely decision. After abnormalities in Jacob's vision were found, he was diagnosed with an optic pathway glioma (OPG).
And, in the following months, the youngster began to experience headaches and daily vomiting. Following two operations, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour - and underwent eighteen months of chemotherapy.
