A boy from the Westcountry has tragically died just months after being diagnosed with cancer. After being diagnosed with high grade brain tumour diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [DIPG] in January this year, doctors said Jayden Lamerton had just nine months to a year left to live.
In heartbreaking news, mum Chelsea Johnson revealed on Tuesday her six-year-old son has now passed away, PlymouthLive reports. Chelsea issued the tragic update on the 'Jayden's Army' Facebook group, announcing Jayden had "fought as best he could" but sadly died in the 'secret garden', surrounded by his family.
Chelsea wrote: "After Jayden deteriorated last week unfortunately Jayden rapidly decided, he wasn’t able to take in any food and liquids due to finding it very difficult to swallow. Jayden spent the last two days at home but unfortunately started to have trouble breathing."
