Wife's desperate race to raise £200,000 for husband given 3 months to live because the NHS can't fund his life-saving treatment

Kevin Carey, 35, from Northern Ireland, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour last year after suffering seizures. Despite months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he and his wife Natasha were told the glioblastoma was so big he had just three months to live. 


He immediately had risky brain surgery in London, in which surgeons cut out the tumour. Though they removed 95 per cent of it, the remaining part could get its own blood supply and grow aggressively again. He was told immunotherapy, which teaches the body's immune cells to attack the tumour, could help. - As it is not a proven treatment, it is not available on the NHS and would cost £205,000. His wife set up a fundraising page to help with the costs, and was stunned when it raised nearly £140,000 in two days. Mrs Carey said they were 'stunned and overwhelmed'. She said: 'Times are so hard financially and yet people have been so generous. We've received so many kind messages of support. It's meant we don't feel alone in this fight.'
