A boy whose stomach pains led to a rare cancer diagnosis has been given just a five per cent chance of survival by doctors – leaving his family “heartbroken”.
Tyler Lynch was five-years-old when he began complaining of pain in his stomach in May 2020. Months later, when he woke with a limp and a sore leg, his parents Daniel and Maria decided to take him to Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Doctors told the family that Tyler was suffering from irritable hip, which is fairly common in children. But the following day, when Tyler’s eye began to swell, his parents knew it was something more serious.
