Tragedy as loveable four-year-old Leeds boy given just months to live

A loveable and caring four-year-old Leeds boy has just months to live after tragically being told nothing more can be done to treat his rare type of brain cancer.

Little Nova Yates started to lose his balance and his family noticed his face started to droop when he was just two-years-old. He was rushed to hospital and underwent an agonising 10-hour brain operation, which left him unable to walk or eat.

Nova, who has been under treatment at Leeds Children's Hospital, went through 18 months of chemotherapy with "brutal and devastating side effects". This was followed by radiotherapy. Throughout it all his mum and dad, Heather and Danny, have been by his side.
