Teenager Carl Scott was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer
A teenager who went to the doctors complaining of back pain died just three weeks later after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Carl Scott, 19, was told by professionals that the condition had spread to 'every part of his body', with the exception of his brain.
"Everything happened so fast and I didn't have time to register anything. It's still feels like a daze, it doesn't seem real. The last few months have been really hard." She said the pain led to him visiting his local doctors surgery followed by Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in August last year. The hospital, in Cramlington, Northumberland, transferred him to the Freeman Hospital for more tests.
Carl, who had planned to study bricklaying at Tyne Metropolitan College in Wallsend, sadly never came out of hospital. He was told that the cancer was terminal and he has just weeks left to live. He passed away at the hospital on September 4 last year. The 30-year-old said a friend from school told him about Carl, who was a fan of his music, being terminally ill. He said he sent her a voice message to play for him and visited him in hospital.
