TRIBUTES have been paid to a brave young man who “fought to the very end” following a tragic battle with terminal cancer. Jamie Batty, who was just 22, died peacefully and without pain on April 10 with his loving family by his side. The former Clacton County High School student was told he had a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour last September. He was diagnosed after doctors carried out several scans on his forearm, which had remained swollen following a seemingly routine knock. The cancer was found to have spread to his lungs and the bottom of his spine, so he then had to endure six rounds of intensive chemotherapy.
