Parents Ellie and Jay welcomed their first child this summer - but just months later, they were told baby Conan has cancer in his lungs, kidneys, chest and spinal cord.
A six-month-old Lanarkshire baby is in hospital fighting cancer as the disease rapidly spreads across his tiny body.
But now, just weeks before Christmas, the tot has been hospitalised after a lump on his stomach turned out to be a neuroblastoma - a tumour that affects nerve cells in babies and young children - on his adrenal glands. Since being in hospital for the last three weeks, Conan has had an operation to fit a central line into his chest, which will be used once he starts chemotherapy next week.
Since their little boy fell ill, self-employed groundworker Jay has been forced to take time off work so that he and Ellie can stay in hospital with him. The pair are currently travelling back and forth from home to hospital, with at least one of them with Conan at all times.
