A woman from Co Antrim is calling for local treatment options to be made available after being diagnosed with eye cancer.
Sandra Newman, 55, noticed a shadow in her vision and went to her local opticians in January 2021. The next day, she was referred to the Royal Victoria Hospital, where it was confirmed she had the rare form of cancer.
In the time that has followed, the Antrim woman has had to travel to Liverpool for chemotherapy and other forms of treatment as such treatment is not available for eye cancer patients in Northern Ireland.
