The family of an NHS worker suffering from bowel cancer is desperately trying to find the money to fund a “promising” drug treatment, that costs between £1,000 and £2,000 to administer each month.
Londoner Tim was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer three years ago at the age of 27, after initially being told he was “too young” to have the disease.
Tim’s sister Ann, who did not want their last names to be published, said her brother was rushed to A&E one day in August 2019 after becoming “seriously ill” at work. He was diagnosed with bowel cancer soon after.
