A cancer-ridden dad given just months to live now plans to walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day - after he was cured by a “miracle drug”. Sean Guinness, 60, said he felt like the “luckiest man in the world” after doctors used “cutting edge” immunotherapy medication to reverse his terminal diagnosis.
The government IT specialist's scrape with death began in 2018 when surgeons found a cancerous tumour had burst on his small intestine during a life-saving operation. The married dad-of-two then got the crushing news that he had just eight months to live as the disease had also spread to his liver and gallbladder.
His shattered daughter, Amelia, 28, even asked him “to write a letter” that she could read out at his funeral, should he pass away suddenly. But, despite his dire situation, doctors didn’t give up on Sean and provided him with drugs including nivolumab and ipilimumab that can help find and kill cancer cells.
