Norfolk mum says: ‘I want my son to be proud of his cancer scar’

Ms Read said genetic tests showed she carried the DICER1 gene and out of her four sons, only Saxon inherited the condition.

“When I found out it was essentially me that caused Saxon’s cancer it really hit me hard,” she added.

“I’m just a normal person but my baby had cancer, and you just don’t think it’s going to be you or your family.”

Ms Read said while Saxon had recovered well from surgery, he was told not to do extreme exercise due to having just one lung.

Doctors also said he would need regular checks until adulthood given the ongoing risk of further tumours developing.
