'It’s honestly like we’re trapped in a nightmare' 💔
The parents of a boy 'full of enthusiasm for life' were given a devastating diagnosis after their beloved son started losing his balance and limping.
Two days later following a trip to the Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, Arnold was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour - Brain Stem Glioma. Talking about his nephew's diagnosis, Keyvan told LancsLive: "Since Monday he’s already started to deteriorate. Brain Stem Glioma is very rare and are more common in children than in adults. The brain stem is located in the lowest part of the brain, which connects to the spinal cord.
"He kept saying 'am I going to lose my hair?' and 'am I going to be okay?' At the beginning we could reassure him because we weren't expecting it to be so devastating. As a parent, you are grasping onto any kind of hope. "You have to just to try and carry on as much as you can. You have to try to forget about it all for a few minutes and pretend it's not really happening. He is so courageous. I feel like he has taught me how to live life to the fullest. He's so positive and full of energy and enthusiasm for life."
