A grandmother with advanced bowel cancer has praised a new 'wonder drug' that has seen her tumours shrink in half.
Terri Hurdman says that within hours of taking the experimental treatment - which is so new it doesn't have a name yet - she was able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath for the first time in months.
The 49-year-old joined a clinical trial at The Christie Hospital for a new drug that targets a specific gene controlling how cancer grows. Ms Hurdman, from Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, had been left exhausted and out of breath due to her cancer and struggled to walk a short distance or even talk on the phone.
