A four-year-old has been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumour after falling over and bumping his head. After the accident, a precautionary hospital scan revealed that Jayden Wilson had not injured himself, but that he had a grade four tumour. His parents have been told that he has just a year to live.

Jayden was given the CT scan hours after a fall two weeks ago, and following the discovery of a mass on his brain, he was transferred to a hospital specialising in brain surgery. After an MRI scan and biopsy, doctors told his mother, Lou, and father, Mike, that he has cancer. After what they described as the ‘worst weeks of our lives’ the couple are now fundraising to make the rest of Jayden’s life full of special days.
