'The doctors said that this time, since I had only one lung, they couldn’t operate or treat the tumour with radiotherapy, for fear of damaging the lung so badly it would kill me.
They estimated I had 12 months to live and handed me palliative care leaflets. My wife, Jean, and I left the hospital in shock.
I was then referred to a chest specialist, Dr Jeremy George, at University College Hospital London. When I saw Dr George three weeks later, in June 2006, he did another bronchoscopy and told me that since the changes were small, they would simply keep an eye on me.
I saw him every three months for a bronchoscopy. I felt well, so in 2007 we booked a holiday to the U.S. to see our daughter and three grandchildren, who live there.
But just before we went I had another appointment with Dr George — it was bad news: my tests showed the cells had changed into early cancer.
Then he told me about a trial they were running for early lung cancer patients. They could inject a light-sensitive dye into me.
I’d then have a laser put down my throat and this would be switched on when it reached the diseased part of my lung. The dye would release a type of oxygen that would destroy the tumour. He said I wouldn’t need a long recovery and could be home within a few days. Suddenly I was being offered this wonder cure that would save my life.'
