A 14-year-old boy has overcome severe health issues. He suffered from fever and abdominal swelling for nearly two months before his condition was diagnosed as cancer. The boy's treatment was complicated by cardiac arrest and a severe immune disorder.

His health struggles began with low haemoglobin and platelet levels, requiring blood transfusions for a month. A tumour was found in the area where the small intestine meets the large intestine.

Further details about the boy's diagnosis and recovery are available, including his battle with multidrug-resistant sepsis and the type of cancer he was treated for, Burkitt's lymphoma.
