Taylan was just five years old when his parents Laura and Toygun noticed something was wrong with their little boy
A six-year-old was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour - when he started getting headaches after playing football. Taylan Kurtul was found to have medulloblastoma after his parents Laura and Toygun also noticed he was wobbly on his feet.
She said: “Laura rang me out of the blue one evening and said ‘we’ve got really bad news, Taylan’s got a tumour on his brain’. It was an absolute shock and utterly devastating. 'I dropped everything, got on a plane and managed to see Taylan before his operation.” Beckie, 40, added: “It’s every parent’s worst nightmare to hear the words ‘your son has brain cancer’, but to hear the type also has a terrible prognosis is just life-shattering. 'The news is still so raw, I feel like it truly hasn’t sunk in and in some ways, I doubt it ever will. It’s simply a living nightmare.
Taylan, who is an only child, has had to re-learn to sit, walk, drink and eat. After months of physiotherapy sessions his mobility, vision and speech gradually started improving. He is now able to walk unaided and talk. Brain Tumour Research is calling on the Government to ring-fence £110million of current and new funding to kick-start an increase in the national investment in brain tumour research to £35million a year by 2028. Brain Tumour Research wants the Government to recognise brain tumour research as a critical priority. It says the increase in research investment would put brain tumours in line with the spend on cancers of breast, bowel and lung, as well as leukaemia.
