A 15-year-old boy who was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year, tragically passed away earlier this year – and has left inspiration in his wake.
Joshua Castle was 14 years old when he was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and his mom, Penny Castle, said he was one of those total overachievers who was super fit and healthy.
During his year in Grade 8, he started losing weight. “He just said he was training and that there was nothing wrong.”
In January last year, he went to see his doctor. The doctor picked up that his liver was about twice the usual size. About two weeks later, Josh became really sick with internal bleeding. They had to use around nine units of blood to stabilise him.
