A superfit teenager who had weak legs and back pain while at Leeds Festival was shocked to discover he had a tumour - which left him paralysed.
Brandon Hackett, now 20, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma last year - a rare type of tumour that occurs in the bones or in the soft tissue surrounding bones. Brandon, from Barnsley, first noticed he was experiencing back pain in July 2021 while training for a weightlifting competition.
After visiting his doctor, he was told it was tight muscles and he started physiotherapy. However, the pain continued and even spread to his stomach. Then, while walking home from a shift at work, he noticed a tingling sensations down his legs.
