A seven-year-old boy described as beautiful inside and out died before he could have a new treatment - made possible by his brave twin brother.
A young boy who lost his fight with leukaemia was just a fortnight away from receiving a potentially life-saving transplant from his twin brother, an inquest has heard.
Reuben Whittle, from Croston, Lancashire, was diagnosed with a rare form of acute leukaemia in 2015 - and had already endured a bone marrow transplant before he was due to receive stem cells from his identical twin, Rocco.
But as Reuben s family waited on CAR T-cell therapy test results - a type of immunotherapy he was due to undergo - his condition deteriorated and he developed a severe fungal infection in his chest, a Manchester inquest was told.
