Cancer Patient 'Sent Home To Die' Makes Amazing Recovery

A woman with cancer has made an incredible recovery after doctors sent her 'home to die'.

Claire Cunningham underwent immunotherapy at Hallwang, Germany, after doctors in the UK had 'given up' on her.

Claire, from Wakefield, Yorkshire, was in so much pain she wasn't able to walk, talk or eat, but now, just six-weeks later, Claire is pain free.

She turned to gofundme to raise funds for an air ambulance after her consultant warned her that treatment wouldn't be strong enough for her aggressive cancer.

She told the Mirror: "It's a miracle. I can't believe I'm actually here. A couple of months ago I was in so much pain I begged for death to come and take me.

"I was screaming in agony and having hallucinations on painkillers. Now I'm here, walking and talking.

"I have the best friends in the world and I am starting a new year that I never thought I would see."

Early tests indicate that the cancer in Claire's spine has gone; but the treatment doesn't come cheap - Claire spent £110,000

Immunotherapy works by encouraging the immune system to attack the cancer, with many believing it to be 'the future' of cancer treatment.

However, on its Choices website, the NHS writes: "the results, while promising, are unfortunately not a cure."
