Russian27,
Thank you for sharing this inspiring article!!
They wrote:
He was diagnosed with bowel cancer in June 2015 and told in early 2016 that he had beaten the disease, but later found out it had returned.
He said he has been told he has "just several months left to live".
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield in February, he said: "I'm determined to prove anything is possible."
'Amazing achievement'
Truly an amazing thing to do. I really hope it is possible for this Mr Toothill, to also find the cure for his cancer.
