Teen safe and well

But the family needs to raise up to £50,000 to fund it – with £25,000 needed to book the treatment quickly.

Tiffany, also mum to the couple’s daughter Sienna, added: “They have available slots in February and as Nathan’s cancer is becoming more aggressive time is of the essence.”

Mr Lewis, a support worker for adults with learning disabilities, has faced surgery in the past.

In 2011 doctors partially removed a tumour from Nathan’s neck. Since his operation the tumour has slowly grown back.

Nathan chose to have radiotherapy to control the pain and it has shrunk the tumour.

Doctors say the condition is not curable and have ruled out further surgery in the UK because they don’t think it will shrink enough.

There is promising news for the family, in that doctors have found a new drug to treat little Thiago’s tumours.

It’s called MEK Inhibitors and is still being trialled.

Tiffany explained: “Although currently still on clinical trial it is proven in 80% of patients that it shrinks these painful, fast-growing benign tumours.

“So we are pleased there is treatment in the future for Thiago even if he has to wait two-four years for this.”

The family are continuing to fundraise for the treatment in Germany. Visit: https://www.justgiving.com/ crowdfunding/NathanLewis?utm_ id=106&utm_term=YP3GZe7aY. A MISSING teenager has been found safe and well.

Fourteen-year-old Kvetoslava Nistorova (pictured) was last seen in the Bramley area of Leeds at about 2pm on Saturday and could have been anywhere in West Yorkshire. Police were concerned as her disappearance was out of character.
