Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery has been told he has just weeks to live as an aggressive form of cancer takes its toll on his young body, his devastated mother has revealed.
Writing in an emotional and tragic post on Facebook, mother Gemma said her 'heart has been broken in two' by the news that her six-year-old is losing his battle with neuroblastoma, which affects around 100 children in the UK every year, faster than first believed.
She also revealed that Bradley is having to endure severe pain in his legs and arms as tumours continue to develop rapidly in his lungs, reducing the amount of oxygen he can absorb.
