An Edinburgh teen who thought he was suffering from growing pains was found to be suffering from a rare cancer
.
"I just said it's fine, I'll get you to the doctors. He said mum it's really sore, I've already told one of the teachers and I need to sit out. I took him to the doctors along the road and the GP said a lot of teenagers get fluid on the hip but she said something wasn't quite right. Top news stories today "I just thought 'What's going on?" Leanne said. "We got taken into a room with the doctor who dealt with Kieran and another lady who I didn't know.
Just two days after arriving back from Manchester, Kieran had to undergo further chemotherapy. A few days later, he was back in hospital with a severe infection and wasn't able to return home for three and a half weeks. "It has been tough. People don't understand. We have friends who don't speak to us now and people who don't even say hello in the street, you wouldn't believe it."
Ashley Boak, Pupil Support Leader at the high school, has taught Kieran the whole four years he has been at the school and played a huge part in fundraising efforts.
