Dad with terminal brain tumour now cancer free - after friends raise £100k for treatment in Germany

A dad diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour is now cancer free - after loved ones raised 100K for pioneering treatment in Germany. Mark Thompson, 38, was diagnosed aged 33 when he was dogged by dizziness, headaches and vision problems.

He had an awake craniotomy to remove the mass and offered radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the NHS - and given an estimated three to five years to live.

Mark, of Littlehampton, Sussex, sought a second opinion and was told about pioneering immunotherapy treatment in Germany costing over £100,000.
