A six-year-old boy who started to become unwell at the start of the first coronavirus lockdown is taking life day-by-day after having a brain tumour removed in a 10-hour operation.

Aaron Wharton went through an initial period of vomiting regularly, along with struggling with his balance, before his parents took him to hospital in March 2020.

Doctors found a significant growth on the four-year-old child's head following an MRI scan, and it was then that he was diagnosed with a grade three brain tumour.

His mum Nicola said: “They confirmed that Aaron would need an operation. Within 48 hours of learning that he had a tumour, he was on the operating table.” Aaron, from Buckley in Flintshire, then underwent a 10-hour surgery to remove the tumour at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, according to North Wales Live.
