A young woman with a rare form of cancer has had her first round of treatment in a private clinic, after her fundraiser was given tens of thousands by listeners to LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast. Megan McClay, 31, called Nick's show in 2023 after doctors gave her two years to live, and she was unable to get the specialist treatment for her rare form of cancer on the NHS.
Megan said she was first diagnosed with cancer in 2020 after noticing "a small flashing light in the corner of my left eye"."As soon as I went to A&E, they referred me to a specialist who then confirmed ocular melanoma, so that was the only symptom that I had," she said."I was working in pensions. I just met my partner, the world was big, and life felt like it was going to go on forever, as it does for a lot of people.
