THE family of a little boy who is being treated for cancer in hospital fear he will not be able to come home for Christmas. Louis Knight, from Worthing, went into hospital in July after being diagnosed with a cancer that starts in immune cells called Burkitt Lymphoma. The disease, which is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, can be rapidly fatal if left untreated. Now Louis, who turned three on Monday, has been given the Star Award for courage from Cancer Research UK. Louis’s family said they “could not be more proud” of the way he has coped with months of difficult, painful treatment and their greatest wish is to have him home at Christmas.
