A seven-year-old twin could have just weeks to live after complaining to her mum of a sore throat and later discovering she had a brain tumour.

Claudia Carrick, who has a twin brother Robin, developeda sore throat and difficulty swallowing and was booked in to see a doctor that afternoon.

The bubbly youngster, from Bootle, Merseyside, appeared her usual self with no other symptoms until she fell ill later that day and lost her balance at school, Liverpool Echo reports.

She was rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital where doctors found fluid on her brain and an operation the next day revealed she had a brain tumour.
