His mum said:
‘I was told Bradley has now only got weeks to live because of how rapid the cancer is spreading.Yes I knew this was coming but I thought it was going to be months not weeks.My heart is broken in two, it is too soon for this to happen, it should never be happening to start with.My baby has had to put up with so much over the past 4 years and now he has to suffer a painful death.How is that fair??? Why should any parent have to be put through this heart ache???’
Last month Bradley was joined by striker Defoe and Sunderland keeper Vito Mannone for his birthday party.
