Callum had a lump on his neck but thought nothing of it - at just 13 he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer
He’d just been told that the small lump on his neck that he’d asked his mates about five weeks earlier was stage four cancer. It was a hammer-blow to the then-13-year-old and his mum.
“No-one teaches you the symptoms of cancer as a young person or what signs to look out for,” he went on. “I thought nothing of it until it grew so big and by then it was stage four. I’d probably been walking around with it for ages. “Another side effect was weight gain. The steroids made me feel hungry all of the time. I had really big hair and I loved it. It was a huge part of me and my identity. Nothing prepared me for how quickly I started to lose it.
“I didn’t recognize myself. Nic took time to listen to me and we spoke at length. She was a really big part of helping me understand what was happening to me. “Being in the Teenage Cancer Trust unit really helped too. It would have been a lot harder if I was on a children’s ward with lots of young children running around and screaming.”
