Family's desperate campaign to fund 'liquid gold' £32k skin cancer treatment

A family is doing everything in its power to pay for a mum's aggressive skin cancer treatment that costs £32,000 a time. Britt Rhodes, 53, was diagnosed with stage four Melanoma in March last year after struggling to identify what was making her condition worse.

After trying a number of different therapies through the NHS, her continued to progress. So Britt and sisters Kirsten and Tina decided that ground-breaking immunotherapy treatment would give her the best chance of leading a normal life.

She had already sampled the treatment but had to suspend it because of a bout of pneumonia. Because of its cost, NHS regulations meant she could not resume the treatment and instead had to find a private provider, reports YorkshireLive.
