«Breaking News» Devastated parents reveal agony of not telling their 14-year-old son he had incurable brain tumour

Distraught parents who tried to protect their son by not telling him his brain tumour would kill him have discovered that he knew all along.

Namrata Pandya, 39 and husband Bhavesh, 43, hid the fact 14-year-old Khushil's condition was fatal because they 'didn't want him to lose hope that he wouldn't grow up and live his dreams'.

But after he passed last week, they found Khushil's diary at home in Harrow, north-west London, in which he'd written 'From day one, I knew the consequences,' after his diagnosis in 2015.

Mrs Pandya (pictured cuddling her son) said she didn't want him to lose hope that one day he wouldn't grow up and realise his dreams

The boy defied odds when he was given six to nine months to live when he was told he had a rare Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) – which affects around 30 children in the UK a year.

'We'd decided not to tell him because we wanted to protect him and didn't want him to lose hope that one day he would grow up to realise his dream of being a scientist or zoologist,' Mrs Pandya told the Mirror.

'Some parents may not agree with our decision – and it's the last one any parent wants to be faced with.

'It didn't feel like we had to make a choice – not telling him felt right. We didn't want him to stop living his best life possible.'

Manchester United fan Khushil got to meet Wayne Rooney after watching a match at Old Trafford in 2016

The close-knit family spent every weekend together, playing board games and table tennis and often visited family back in India.

But their life was turned upside down when Khushil went to the opticians for a check-up in March 2015 because he had a squint in his left eye.

An MRI at an eye hospital revealed he had the incurable cancerous tumour. The news worsened when they learned it was a DIPG - which no child has ever survived.

His parents vowed to make the most of the time their son had left and drew up a bucket list of things he wanted to do.

They visited places like Thorpe Park and Planet Hollywood - and he met his favourite stars such as magician Dynamo and Deadly 60 presenter Steve Backshall.

The Manchester United fan then watched a game from the directors' box at Old Trafford and met Wayne Rooney, Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton after the match. 

The family also holidayed to Alaska to watch the Northern Lights..

The boy then conquered a Duke of Edinburgh expedition in June 2017 and got his bronze award, despite being wheelchair-bound.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
