The distraught dad of a youngster with a terminal condition has begged health chiefs to offer a foreign treatment which can help his son.
Jamie Tierney Jr was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) last March and his family are now fundraising to send him to stem cell clinics in the US and South America to potentially extend his life and hold back his symptoms.
The four-year-old has a paediatric neurologist in Edinburgh to ensure he has access to the full range of multi-disciplinary treatment and support available but the family want access to the radical treatment abroad.
