An MP from Lincolnshire has taken to Twitter to reveal that doctors have found a cancerous tumour in his head.

Nick Boles, the MP for Grantham and Stamford says he will undergo treatment soon.

The 50-year-old has previously been diagnosed with, and recovered from Hodgkins Lymphoma, a type of cancer.

Mr Boles was first elected as the Conservative Party MP for Grantham and Stamford in May 2010 with a majority of 14,826 votes.

The MP said he he is 'giving up Twitter until I have got this thing licked' following news of his latest cancer battle.
