A ten-year-old boy with a giant tumor on his neck could be cured after being prescribed Viagra.
 
Jose Serrano, of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was losing time as the life-threatening growth could stop him breathing by putting pressure on his windpipe, with surgeons desperate to operate.
 
But it will not be safe until the cystic growth, known as a lymphangioma, is smaller. Viagra, which is most famous for helping male impotence, has been discovered to shrink growths in children.

Jose is now taking the medicine in the hope he will one day be able to live life as a normal boy.
 
He said: ‘If the doctors can cure me I will be so happy. I would be thrilled. I would be healthy and I'd be able to do anything I want. I could run fast, play on the swings and rings - anything I want.’
