Patients denied life saving cancer treatment
The mother of a young woman who was denied cancer treatment which she hoped would save her life says her daughter was let down by the NHS. Nadejah Williams suffered from a rare form of colon cancer and her consultant recommended she underwent stereotactic radiotherapy or SABR for short.

Her mother Michelle told Adrian Goldberg about the day last year when her daughter asked to see the machine she hoped would help her beat the disease.
