The mum and dad of a Southport three year old are appealing for help and support after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Just a few short weeks ago, 3-year-old Oscar Brown was a cheeky, happy, and healthy little boy — full of energy, laughter, and love for life.
Four weeks later, his world and his parents lived changed forever as Oscar was diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.
The tumour is large, inoperable, and located on his brain stem — affecting the way he walks and moves.
His mum Katie said: “In the last three weeks alone, our brave boy has already undergone two brain surgeries, facing every challenge with incredible courage and strength beyond his years.
“This devastating diagnosis has come as a huge shock to us and we are doing everything we can to stay strong for him, and to his whole family who are doing everything they can to support him.
Oscar is also a proud big brother to baby Willow, and shares a beautiful bond with his best friend and cousin, Frankie, who is the same age.
“Doctors have told us that Oscar’s prognosis is 12 months, and he will soon begin an intensive run of radiotherapy treatment 5 days a week for 6 weeks to give him the best chance possible.
