A RUTHIN schoolboy diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour the size of a tennis ball has been recognised with a special award from Cancer Research UK for Children & Young People. Fynle Price Jones, aged nine, was diagnosed with a brain tumour on May 24, 2019, but, thanks to his lifesaving treatment, is now cancer free. He has also returned to school and is looking forward to spending Christmas at home with his family. Now, for the courage he showed during treatment as he learnt to speak, eat, swallow and walk again after major surgery, Fynle has received a Cancer Research UK for Children and Young People Star Award, in partnership with TK Maxx.
THE family of a little boy who is being treated for cancer in hospital fear he will not be able to come home for Christmas. Louis Knight, from Worthing, went into hospital in July after being diagnosed with a cancer that starts in immune cells called Burkitt Lymphoma. The disease, which is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, can be rapidly fatal if left untreated. Now Louis, who turned three on Monday, has been given the Star Award for courage from Cancer Research UK. Louis’s family said they “could not be more proud” of the way he has coped with months of difficult, painful treatment and their greatest wish is to have him home at Christmas.
