A man told he had less than 12 months to live is now cancer-free thanks to a a new drug regime trial. 'When something like this happens you realise life is for living.’
He had visited his GP, undergoing a series of scans and blood tests but his cancer was only picked up by chance when he got an infection in his gall bladder.Only around 1,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with it every year and just 5% of them live for five years or more after diagnosis.
The now 51-year-old said: ‘I wouldn’t be here today without the trial. When I was given the option to take part in research, I jumped at the chance.‘You do anything you can to extend your life. I feel very lucky as I had the cancer for two years and had no idea.‘With my partner, Simone, we get out in nature and walk loads. When something like this happens you realise life is for living.’
Mr Glynn was started on an immunotherapy drug, which is already approved for use in other cancers, including lung, kidney and oesophageal cancer.
