Kind-hearted friends of a dad of two who was diagnosed with bowel cancer have raised more than £10,000 to support him after he had life-saving surgery on Thursday.
Mathew Broadley Dixon was diagnosed with bowel cancer in October aged 44. His wife Claire says the disease is advanced and he has already endured a tough chemotherapy regime for three months.
In a Go Fund Me plea she said: "He has now been given a lifeline in the form of major surgery at a specialist hospital in London 200-plus miles away from his home in Leeds. This could extend his life and may even offer a cure.
