A man diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2017 is taking on a 150-mile walk to raise funds for research into the condition. Jon Badger took part in two clinical trials and his latest scans indicate the tumours are inactive.
The 43-year-old said: “The only reason I’m here today, over five years post-diagnosis, is because of the clinical trials at The Royal Marsden, they have effectively given me three to four years more life than I was supposed to have and potentially a lot more. That’s incredible when, at one point, I was told I had 12 months to live."
