Teen too young AND too old to get funding for cancer therapy

Faith Shone, 16, has leukaemia, which was caused by heavy doses of chemotherapy she received two years ago to treat a leg tumour.

Doctors say further intense chemo could cause her heart to fail, which means her only options are stem cell and CAR-T trial therapies.

But 16 and 17-year-olds are not eligible for medical trials as they are neither classed as an adult nor a child.
