Scots nurse with terminal cancer needs £50,000 for treatment that could add years to life

A Paisley nurse living with a terminal illness at the age of just 23 is trying to raise £50,000 for medical treatment that could add years to her life.

Sarah McCrimmon, from Potterhill, has been given hope of recovery from a rare form of kidney cancer that has blighted her life since she was 13. She has been invited for a clinical trial - but the catch is that she has to pay tens of thousands of pounds for the experimental treatment.

Sarah has set up a fundraiser to help her meet the £50,000 target, which will see her take part in a clinical trial in the USA, with the hope of eradicating the rare form of kidney cancer she has been living with for the past ten years. Sarah works as a nursing auxiliary in a cardiology ward at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
