'I was given less than a year to live after devastating diagnosis - but now I've got a fresh start'
A welder given less than a year to live following a shock diagnosis is now cancer-free thanks to a new drug trial. Robert Glynn, from Worsley, had been unable to sleep after suffering agony in his shoulder.

When given the diagnosis in August 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic, Mr Glynn was told his cancer was at an advanced stage and had spread to his adrenal gland.
The treatment, which is given by a drip and helps a person’s own immune system fight cancer, was combined with standard chemotherapy. The drug cannot be named due to the experimental nature of this trial for bile duct cancer. Since his operation, Mr Glynn has not needed any more treatment and his three-monthly scans show he is clear of cancer. Further studies are now being carried out with more patients with the hope of changing the treatment of biliary tract cancer.
He added: “I cut out all processed foods, refined sugar, dairy and milk and now have a smoothie every day and lots of organic fruit and vegetables and make everything from scratch. I managed to lose 5st, which was a big step for me.
