A great-granddad thought he was suffering from Covid-19 until a trip to A&E revealed a terrifying cancer diagnosis in April 2020, which gave him only 18 months to live.
But some three years on, Billy Moffatt is still here, thanks to a miraculous experimental medical trial run in Greater Manchester. The 73-year-old from Beswick took a drug which has just been approved for use by the NHS - it has kept his cancer at bay for 10 months without any side effects.
Billy, a retired factory worker, had previously been affected by prostate cancer. He began struggling with his breathing and thought he'd caught Covid-19 - until he went to A&E.
