A WOMAN says she will not give up fighting to save her husband’s life and is determined to make sure “all options” are exhausted.

We reported in December that Terra Newman had launched a desperate appeal for help for her husband Ade, 49, after the discovery of a cancerous tumour in his brain last summer, and being initially told the devastating news nothing could be done for him.

The 45-year-old said there had been some good news as he had been able to spend Christmas at the family’s home in St Peter’s.

Mrs Newman said: “He had his last radiotherapy session (on Thursday) and he is on the trial drug Zanubrutini, and there has been some improvement.

“He went from not walking or talking and now he is. I wouldn’t say he is normal, but he is definitely much more independent.

“But it is a wait and see situation.

“The fundraising is needed as we don’t know what we will need to fund in the future. The trial drug is not on the NHS, there are things like that we know we will have to pay out for.

“Our previous consultant said there was nothing more they could do for him, but our new one has said let’s not give up, there are things we can do let’s try these.

"We are trying all the NHS approved stuff first.

“Our next option would be do a stem cell transplant, but we will have to see if he is eligible for that.

"If he is, he would have his stem cells removed, and new ones put back in, and he would have no immune system for quite some time afterwards.

"If it works it is like rebooting you, eliminating the cancer - like turning a computer off and back on again.

"But everybody’s body is different, some react better than others, we don’t know if it would work.”

Mrs Newman said the “last resort” would be the proton beam, using a laser-focused beam to cut the growth out of the brain.

“We won’t give up, we will exhaust all options.” she said.

“I spend hours researching his particular form of cancer, and how we can treat it.”

The family, including eight-year-old daughter Ever and 12-year-old son Cove, have appealed for people to make a donation and so far they raised more than £21,000.

“I have set up a Facebook page, Fighting for Ade, so people can see where the money is going to, and follow our journey and what we are going through,” Mrs Newman said.

“And I want use it to raise awareness of his type of cancer.”
