A mum has revealed how her teenage son's itchy skin condition turned out to be a symptom of a rare cancer.
Ryan Thomson, from Stenhousemuir, Falkirk, had first began to feel unwell around Christmas time last year.
The 14-year old, who plays for Stenhousemuir FC Community 07's football team, had started to look 'sluggish' on the pitch leading mum Audrey to notice 'something wasn't right'.
