CANCER sufferer Colin Howe has been given a glimmer of hope in his quest to get a life-prolonging drug for free.
Colin, of Gentian Way, Brownsover, has been told by Warwickshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) that they will fund the drug, Sutent, providing a scan shows that Colin's kidney cancer has stopped spreading.
The news comes after Colin attended a PCT hearing in Warwick last Tuesday to appeal against his initial refusal of the drug.
He is due to have a scan at the end of this month and could know the result by early November.
