A surgeon held his head in his hands and told a cancer patient “I’m so sorry” after he was forced to halt life-saving surgery.
Dad Steve Cutter, from Peterlee, Co Durham, could have just months to live due to his inoperable peritoneal cancer, which was only discovered in theatre as doctors performed corrective surgery on another form of the disease.
The 68-year-old had previously recovered from colon cancer, but in January - just over a year on from being given the all-clear - he was back on the operating table.
