Robin Edwards, 66, is one of the first people in the UK to be given CAR-T therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CCL).
He received it as part of a trial run by a team at the University College of London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and UCL in collaboration with the UK-based CAR-T cell therapy company, Autolus Therapeutics.
Robin, a retired IT specialist from Buxton, underwent the therapy in May last year, which involved 30 days in hospital at The Christie while his body's own immune system attacked the cancer. Thankfully, it worked and three months after treatment he is in complete remission with no signs of cancer.
