"It all started with constipation," explained his grandmother, Sharon Currie, from Blackley.
"He was going to the doctors for months and months with constipation."
Tragically, however, doctors deduced Arthur wasn't suffering from constipation but a rare form of cancer.
On October 16, 2020, Arthur was diagnosed with stage four clear cell sarcoma of the kidney.
It's a rare cancer and one which Arthur's doctor had only come across once before.
"It took them a few weeks to figure out which cancer it was," Sharon said.
"It started off with his kidney, and now it's in nearly every bone in his body."

"It's almost like I'm talking about someone else but it's my grandson and I'm just heartbroken," Sharon told the Manchester Evening News.
She said that now, it's just 'a waiting game' to see if any of the treatments will work, after Arthur had a relapse at the beginning of the month.
Sharon is calling out for 'someone somewhere' to help her grandson.
