The family of an Airdrie boy who died from a brain tumour visited a research centre.

Rayhan Majid, 4, started having bad headaches in 2017. After visiting GPs, he was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where an MRI scan revealed a 3cm x 4cm mass in Rayhan’s brain.

Rayhan underwent surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible which turned out to be an aggressive grade three medulloblastoma, which was touching his brainstem.

Nadia and Sarfraz Majid were told he would need six weeks of radiotherapy and four months of chemotherapy, but even before the treatment started, another MRI scan revealed the devastating news that the cancer had spread.

He tragically died in April 2018, in the arms of his parents.

Now, the family was invited to the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at Queen Mary University of London, where scientists are working to find a cure for medulloblastoma, the most common high-grade brain tumour in children.

The parents have fundraised for Brain Tumour Research since losing their Rayhan and are building a legacy in his memory through the Fundraising Group Remembering Rayhan which has raised nearly £17,000.
