The family of terminally-ill Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery has revealed he only has weeks to live.
The six-year-old from Blackhall Colliery, County Durham, suffers from neuroblastoma and is receiving palliative care at home.
An X-ray has now shown his tumours are spreading rapidly, and there is little room left in his lungs for oxygen.
A posting on the dedicated Facebook page read: "My heart is broken in two, it is too soon for this to happen."
Bradley, who was recently named Child of Courage at the Pride of North East Awards, became Sunderland's mascot and also led out the England team for its World Cup qualifier against Lithuania in March.
