Surgery, dangerous liver complications, infections and weeks in hospital. After further procedures, Ross was able to begin chemotherapy.
That is where the story becomes a practical appeal. A treatment option needs more than determination: it needs the means to keep accessing care.
Ross said he had considered remortgaging their home, continuing to work and asking his parents for help from their retirement savings. These were the choices he was weighing while facing cancer.
Additional private treatment costs up to £9,000 a month. Support helps sustain medication and care over the months ahead.
Targeted medication alongside chemotherapy, with funding to keep this option available.
Supportive therapies, nutrition and practical care during treatment.
Additional care if Ross's condition and his medical team make it possible.
