A former Manchester United scout has been given the all-clear thanks to a groundbreaking cancer trial.
Tom Critchley was diagnosed with early stage rectal cancer last April before being referred to the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. That is where he was offered the chance to join the Aphrodite trail.
The trial was set up to invest whether a higher dose of radiotherapy increases the chance that rectal cancer can be treated without resorting to painful surgery.
Critchley, 76, underwent 28 sessions of radiotherapy on the trial, as per The Independent.
Everyone at Stretty News would like to congratulate Mr Critchley on the fantastic news of winning his battle against cancer. He’s an inspiration to us all.
