Brit, 28, who fulfilled dream of moving to Australia left devastated after being diagnosed with incurable brain tumour

A YOUNG Brit who moved to Australia with his girlfriend and planned to settle down had his world torn apart after being told that a brain tumour could kill him within seven years.

Jack Donovan, 28, and his girlfriend Amy Prothero couldn't have been happier when they headed down under with dreams of raising a family - but tragedy struck the loved-up couple last year.

The Brit, from Cyncoed, Cardiff, had made repeat hospital visits in Melbourne only to be told there was nothing wrong with him.

But after his girlfriend found him curled up in agony in their bathroom, doctors finally discovered the terminal cancer in his head.

“I was confused and did not know what to think,” Jack, from Cardiff, said.

“I got upset and I still do now but there is nothing I can do about it.”

In October the brave Brit had surgery which removed about half of the tumour but it is still growing.

To make matters worse, Jack does not have a chromosome called 1P19Q, meaning treatment is less effective.

His remaining life expectancy has been halved from about 15 years to seven as his condition is harder to treat with radio and chemo therapies.

Jack admitted it was “one of those situations where we do not know what is going to happen”.
