Student who put his tiredness down to partying too much gets a devastating diagnosis
A teenager who thought he had partied too much during an interrail trip was struck with a terrifying diagnosis when he returned home. Tom Hunt, then 18, thought he probably needed more sleep and less beer after exploring Europe by train with friends.

My son was told his headaches were long Covid but it was much worse – I knew it was serious
A TEEN’S headaches were repeatedly misdiagnosed as long Covid before doctors found a brain tumour. Kane Allcock, 15, had been in agony, was sick and struggled to walk with dizziness when the migraines began getting worse. But he had only been given pain-killers for them, which started when he caught the virus, and medics repeatedly insisted he was suffering from post- Covid vertigo. Doctors only found the large tumour after he had a seizure and eventually sent him for a brain scan. Seven-and-a-half hour surgery finally removed it almost four months after the headaches began. Mum Nicki, of Crewe, Cheshire , said: “I knew something wasn’t right. Kane was holding his head and rocking in agony. He couldn’t walk properly. “The message I was getting was that he was still just suffering from migraines.” READ MORE IN HEALTH MUM'S WARNING My little boy went blue and nearly died - all parents must know these signs SPOT THE … [Read more...] about My son was told his headaches were long Covid but it was much worse – I knew it was serious
