In Summary

  • Something horrible is eating Stanley, 8. His mum just wants to know what it is

Although he could not give a diagnosis from a photograph and also because that was not his area of speciality, the spots to him indicated a skin disorder, probably cancerous because it keeps growing.

A sample of the tumour would have to be taken for testing at their laboratories.

He offered to forward it to the Dean, School of Health Sciences, as a possible research case.

“The University would be interested to take up such a rare case. They have the facilities and specialists at their disposal,” he said.
