Laser therapy joy for cancer patient

A CANCER patient is facing a new lease on life after finding out he will get revolutionary treatment.

Last week, Brad Tompkins from  Rushden, Northants's, England,  underwent an  MRI scan at  UCLH - University College Hospital in London to determine if he would benefit from  Laser breakthrough therepy to treat his mouth cancer.

He was delighted to learn on Thursday that he is suitable for the treatment, leaving him ‘over-the-moon’.

The 48-year-old said: “They’ve accepted my treatment and I will be going in either this week or next week, and it’s absolutely brilliant news.

“If I had chosen to go down the  chemotherapy and surgery route I was facing the prospect of losing my  voice-box and my  throut glands and I could not have lived without being able to communicate with other people – what is important is my quality of life, however long that might be.
