A new trial has had life changing implications for the husband and wife.
They have both faced the same life-threatening cancer diagnosis but they now lead very different lives. The trial has already had life changing implications for husband and wife Judy Hatton and Trevor Thewlis, from Cookridge.
The couple are now free from cancer, but the impact of the disease on each of their daily lives could not be more different. Judy has no long-term side effects, but Trevor must change his ileostomy bag every three hours, throughout the day and night. Judy said: "People including health professionals said, ‘just get the tumour out’. But because I’d seen what Trevor had to go through, and still goes through - although he copes with it admirably – with the life-changing situation of having a stoma, it was a no-brainer for me to go with the trial. If it hadn’t worked there was still the option of surgery, which would only have been a few weeks later.
“I like the idea of the trial because you are so closely monitored. You really are looked after because they want the results, and they need to record the results. So it just seemed the obvious thing to do.
