    The one bright note I take from being beaten at home by Sunderland was that at least Bradley will have loved it and hopefully given him a much needed lift.

    Fight on Bradley and keep smiling.

    There's more to life than football for us fans.

    very sad

    Bradley had a scan on Monday and it showed what we feared. Bradley's cancer is spreading at a very fast rate and he has now got lots of new tumours including in his lungs.

    "The lump that was causing pain was originally thought to be an abscess has got bigger and they now believe it's a tumour.

    "We are heartbroken this is happening so fast.

    "Bradley is now receiving palliative care at home. He is going for radiotherapy at the end of this week and next week, but this is to control the pain in the hope we get him comfortable.

    Heartbreaking news. Bless you Bradley Lowery. Through all of this ordeal I have never seen a picture of you without a big smile on your face. Keep fighting.

    I was at a funeral yesterday that left two young brave little lads without a dad.
    Hold your loved ones close people because this world will chew you up and spit you out.

    Let's keep his charm and style in our minds. He's now losing the battle, but he will always endure; quality and loveliness does that.

    How fortunate we are.

    Indeed he is. And other poor things who put us to shame.

    They've just announced they've ceased attempting to treat him now and he only has weeks to live, they're just going to make him as comfortable as they can.

    It's desperately sad. When an older person dies, there's some comfort in remembering their life, but hopes and dreams die with a child.

    I know someone who lost a child in similar circumstances, and the torment of knowing there is no hope, so your choice is watching your child suffer, or letting them go, is one I wouldn't wish on anyone. The families seem to hold themselves with far more dignity than I think I could muster,.

    Count your blessings, and give them a big hug, and remember how precious and fragile life is..

    Excellent post Dutch. Being a parent as many of us are, regardless of the age of our Children really makes this pretty upsetting. I look at the pictures of Bradley and he's smiling in every single one - how can this be right? Makes the moans and groans we all have seen pretty irrelevant and pointless.

    I think the wonderful love and devotion, not to mention the incredible clarity of what is important, that his parents surround him with is why he smiles; he has their spirit. It is a truely wonderful and inspirational thing against such a sad backdrop of life at its cruellest. We can all learn.
