Product Description
Liam Ryan has become one of the greatest cancer survivors of all time. Diagnosed with one of the worst cases of Head & Neck cancer ever seen he simply had no chance. His initial consultant told him he was the second worse case he had ever seen. The worst case was dead in a month. Very few hospitals in the world, he told him, could offer any hope to a case like his. He was given just weeks to live. Eventually, impressed by his fighting spirit, Professor Simon Rogers and his team in Liverpool, offered Liam a chance, without believing he would make it. To give him something to fight for, they told him he had a 5% chance. The problem with serious Head & Neck cancer is invariably the treatment required will put you in the grave before the cancer gets the chance to. If Liam was still alive after surgery he was likely to be without his sight, his speech, his hearing, his mobility, his brain function or any combination of all 5. But none of that mattered then. He just wanted to be alive. If he was alive he was winning, and cancer was losing. He underwent a life threatening 12 hour operation.
