Man given year to live is cancer-free after drug trial
A man who "jumped at the chance" to join a drug trial after being diagnosed with cancer and given 12 months to live has said "getting the all-clear was overwhelming".
Mr Glynn, who works as a welder, was diagnosed after suffering severe pain in his shoulder which left him unable to sleep. The treatment led to a tumour in his liver shrinking from 12cm to 2.6cm, while the one in his adrenal gland shrank from 7cm to 4.1cm.During the operation, surgeons found only dead tissue, which meant the treatment had killed off all the cancer cells."You do anything you can to extend your life," he said.
The trial was run by The Christie's Prof Juan Valle, who said the results of the research and another larger study had been "keenly anticipated by colleagues worldwide as it could lead to a change in how we treat patients like Robert in the future".
