A teenager who thought he'd slipped a disc deadlifting 300kg was shocked to discover his back pain was a tumour, which left him paralysed from the waist down.
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, then 19, first noticed he was experiencing back pain in July 2021 while training for a weightlifting competition.
