Father's family have just three weeks to raise £21,000 for a life-saving cancer vaccine

A father from Birmingham needs his family to raise £21,000 in just three weeks for a cancer vaccine that will prolong his life.

Andrew Flynn, 52, from Northfield on the southern outskirts of England’s ‘second city’, was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in 2021. And despite enduring ‘terrible’ rounds of chemotherapy and life-saving surgery to get the all clear, the cancer has come back, reports BirminghamLive.

In September, Andrew was given the devastating news that the cancer had returned and spread to his lungs, lymph nodes and chest wall. There is a glimmer of hope, though, with a German clinic – where Andrew is currently receiving treatment – saying they can create a unique cancer vaccine which will boost his survival chances, but his family need to raise the funds in order for them to go ahead and create it.
