A 19-year-old who went to the doctor with back pain tragically died just a few weeks later, after he was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Teenager Carl Scott was given the heartbreaking news that the aggressive cancer had spread to 'every part of his body', apart from his brain.
Carl's mum Claire Abraham, has paid tribute to her 'loving and caring boy' after spending the first Christmas without her son. Carl from North Shields, found a painful lump on his back and went to seek medical attention, Chronicle Live reported.
It was discovered Carl had a rare form of sarcoma called Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a soft tissue cancer. He died just three weeks after his diagnosis.
