A teenage boy in the UK died just one day after he was given the heartbreaking news that he had leukemia.
According to the Daily Mail, 16-year-old Harley Andrews was admitted to Royal Bolton Hospital in Lancashire, England, on November 8. Weeks before that he had visited his doctor after feeling under the weather, but was told he was likely suffering from nothing more serious than a viral infection.
A close family friend claimed Harley was informed he might be experiencing “growing pains”.
Just shy of two weeks ago, however, the teenager – reportedly a keen soccer and rugby player – from Leigh, Greater Manchester, noticed blood in his urine.
His father then made the decision to take him to hospital, where doctors delivered the devastating news that he had stage four luekemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer.
