A young man is fighting for his life after being diagnosed with brain cancer in January.
Stephen Kirk has Stage 4 Glioma, a type of tumour that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. The 18-year-old was told that Irish hospitals could only offer him an extra few months with treatment. Proud mother Jean previously told Dublin Live that losing her son "was not an option."
Stephen has since been over and back to Texas where he says doctors have given him a "chance of life". His optimistic spirit in face of adversity at such a young age has blown away everyone.
