A heartbreaking fundraiser has been launched so a teenager can get 'one last chance' with brain tumour treatment.

Ethan Treharne's dad Justin is trying to raise £150,000 in the hope of getting immunotherapy treatment for his son.

A fundraising page has been set up for 16-year-old Ethan after his diagnosis late last year.

His dad Justin explained on the page how his son had started suffering from slurred speech and minor headaches when he was at school on Wedneday, October 2.

After a CT scan at Frimley Park Hospital, a phone call from the neurologist confirmed Ethan had a 4cm brain tumour.

The fundraising page said: "After receiving that phone call and hearing the diagnosis we were completely devastated which left us, his younger brother and sister heartbroken.

"Initially it was believed that the tumour could be removed completely and his first operation was deemed a success. Unfortunately on scanning post operation a secondary tumour site remained and Ethan was left with having further surgery. We can’t even begin to describe that day and how our world fell apart and that we knew our lives would never be the same."

Ethan was studying for his GCSE's at the time and has an accolade of accomplishments behind him.

He is player of the season at Crowthorne Cricket Club, signed for Aldershot academy for two years as a goal keeper, played conference and academy level at basketball and completed his FA referee certificate to referee football games.

He also successfully finished his DofE (Duke of Edinburgh) award which included volunteering to coach the under 10's Yately basketball team, learning new skills and carried out physical exercises such as camping and orienteering over long weekends to complete the award.

The page added: "Our beautiful son Ethan was in school preparing for his GCSE's, studying in between his active days of football and basketball. Sport is his passion and a career to date that most parents would be proud of."

After his diagnosis, Ethan underwent Craniotomy surgery, radiotherapy and then a further nine months of chemotherapy which finished in October 2020.

Sadly, as a side effect of the surgery Ethan developed epilepsy in December which changed his day to day life forever.

In November 2020, his seizures were becoming daily and a follow up scan revealed a a recurrence of the tumour.

The family said they have no option but to seek brain tumour treatment abroad in Cologne, which offers DCVax treatment.
