Alison Scanlon said her son had showed no signs or symptoms at all
A five-year-old boy received a devastating diagnosis after he started complaining of stomach pains following a fall in the park.
Alison told our sister site, Wales Online, that she was shocked when a week later they had received the terrible news that Reid had multiple small tumours in his right kidney - meaning he had a stage five Wilms’ tumour where tumours are in both kidneysShe said: "He seemed to be a very fit and healthy young boy. He loves playing and being outdoors. He’s often wrestling with his older brothers.
The main symptom of a Wilms’ tumour, which is most common in small children, is the skin protruding where the tumour is located, which is usually painless. Sometimes the tumour can bleed which can cause pain, and there could be blood in a child’s urine as a result. To find out more about symptoms of a Wilms’ tumour go here.
“We’ve been told the condition could be to do with genetics and he could have been born with it. We found out the tumour in his left kidney had actually been growing for months. There were no signs at all and yet the mass in his left kidney is the size of a grapefruit.”
