Pic from Kennedy News/ Ania Hough (Pictured:JAMIE HOUGH, NOW 10, BEFORE STARTING CHEMOTHERAPY IN 2024.) A mum thought her son was being 'silly' by not walking properly until discovering it was a symptom of cancer - claiming their Christmas Day walk 'saved his life'. Ania Hough, from Staplehurst in Kent, said her then eight-year-old son Jamie Hough had first complained of a headache in October 2023 and started vomiting. Initially, the mum-of-two thought he had picked up a school sickness bug but after calling 111 she took him to A&E at Maidstone Hospital in Kent.
