A five-year-old boy has been diagnosed with an ultra-rare cancer - which was discovered only after a routine eye test. The Mirror reports that Tyler Keys, from Essex, was diagnosed with choroid plexus carcinoma, a rare type of brain cancer.
Tyler, who attends the Great Dunmow Primary School, was first referred to doctors after his teacher noticed irregularities in his learning. His parents, Jenna Grant and Boyd Keys said the quick spot from his teacher saved his life.
Jenna said: "We kept saying thank you so much because she effectively saved his life. If it went on undetected for any longer it would have been much worse."
