Bradley Lowery’s mum pens heartbreaking Facebook post urging people not to ask whether brave tot has died yet as she reveals ‘I’ve done everything to try and save him’
BRAVE Bradley Lowery's mum has penned a heartbreaking Facebook post urging people not to ask whether he has died yet as she revealed: "I've done everything to try and save him."
Gemma Lowery, 35, is inundated with messages about the six-year-old's health on a daily basis after the family were recently told he has just weeks to live.
The youngster, from Blackhall Colliery, near Hartlepool, has been battling neuroblastoma - a rare form of cancer - for most of his life.
Writing on Facebook this morning, Gemma said: "Please note due to the high volume of messages the page gets on a daily basis we will not be answering the ones that ask how Bradley is doing.
"I appreciate everyone's concern but I will update everyone at the same time by writing a status.
"I will not be answering any messages regarding alternative therapies such as cannabis oil.
"As a parent I've done and tried everything I can to cure Bradley but unfortunately nothing has worked.
"Also I really don't like to read messages saying that you think my child is going to die within the next week, asking if he has died yet, or asking if I know when he is going to die so please think of how I feel when reading that sort of thing before sending a message.

This month it was revealed Bradley, who is battling neuroblastoma, has just weeks to live.
Footballer Jermain Defoe - Bradley's "best friend" - revealed his pain at finding out best pal Bradley Lowery’s cancer was spreading fast – and that he doesn’t have long left to live.
The England striker texts the six-year-old’s mum first thing every morning for updates on the brave Sunderland lad.
Defoe struck up his friendship with Bradley back in September when the young cancer sufferer led out his beloved Sunderland against Everton at the Stadium of Light.
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that most commonly affects babies and young children.
The disease develops from special nerve cells, known as neuroblasts, which get left behind from the child's development in the womb.
It mostly begins in the sufferer's adrenal glands located above the kidneys but can occur in the nerve tissue that runs along the spinal cord in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis.
The vicious illness can then spread to other organs like the bone, bone marrow, lymph nodes and skin.
