Breast cancer drug trial: Woman given months to live told she is cancer free


A woman with cancer who was given less than a year to live has been told she is clear of the disease after taking part in a clinical trial.

Jasmin David, 51, of Manchester, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2017.

Two years later it had spread and she started a trial, using an experimental medicine combined with an immunotherapy drug, at The Christie hospital.

She said she felt "reborn" after scans showed no evidence of cancer.
