A Nottinghamshire woman says being on a "groundbreaking" new cancer treatment has given her hope for the future. Karen Corrigan, 42, was first diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at King's Mill Hospital back in 2018 after she found a lump in her left breast.
She was told the cancer was treatable and underwent chemotherapy - 14 rounds in total. In January 2020 Karen had a mastectomy, but, in April of that year, scans showed the cancer had come back and spread to her liver and lungs.
Then, in April of this year, her doctor managed to get her on to a trial of a new treatment called Trodelvy and she began taking it on May 13, so far only undergoing one cycle. She says there are hopes the treatment, which she first learned about through celebrity Stephen Mulhern online, has given her a lot of hope going forward - she is now enjoying a holiday in Florida.
