The great-granddad who was given just 18 months to live in 2020 - and is still here today
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.
He still needed further treatment, but also needed to avoid hospital visits during the unfolding pandemic. Billy was referred to Greater Manchester's world-leading cancer centre, The Christie Hospital, where he was given chemotherapy. Sotorasib is the first KRAS inhibitor to be approved for standard use in the UK on the NHS, making this a major milestone in lung cancer research. Lung cancer is the third most common cancer and accounts for the highest number of cancer-related deaths in both men and women.
