A mum is celebrating her three-year-old son's miraculous recovery from a brain tumour.
Mum-of-four Natalie Copping, 32, who lives in Kelvedon, and her partner Jonathan, 32, an electrician, were left devastated when doctors discovered a tumour at the back of their youngest son James’ brain two months ago.
In August, the couple noticed the toddler was suffering with bad headaches and took him to the doctor, who wasn’t sure what was wrong and suggested they return if the problem persisted.
After a couple of weeks, James was resting his head on one side, felt tired more often and was hardly eating.
In September they were referred to Colchester General Hospital, who ran tests and set up an MRI scan.
