Laura's mum is continuing the fight
The cancer which led to the death of campaigner Laura Nuttall is being “neglected” and treated as “the cancer in the corner”, her mother has said.
“Every time I get an email that says ‘I’m sorry for contacting you, could you give me some advice’, my heart just sinks because it’s another family that are looking for a miracle where there really aren’t any.” “And once we know what the mutations are, then there’s the option to develop novel drug treatments. But at the moment there is one kind of chemotherapy and that’s all that’s given to people with glioblastoma, and it may well work for a period of time for some people, but we really do need personalised medicine as is available in other kinds of cancers.
Ms Nuttall, from Barrowford, Lancashire, was diagnosed with brain cancer in autumn 2018 following a routine eye test. She was initially told by medics that she would have 12 months to live and dropped out of university in London and underwent an operation to remove the largest of eight tumours.
