A Royal Free patient has become the first in the world to undergo a treatment for leukaemia which she and her doctors’ hope will save her life.

Joanne Scott, 53, who lives in Kentish Town, London, has been treated with “natural killer cells” from her daughter, Tara, that were activated in the laboratory before being transfused into Joanne. Doctors believe these activated cells will survive in Joanne’s system and kill the cancer.

Joanna and Tara Scott join Richard & Judy to talk about the treatment.

The treament took place at The Royal Free Hospital, for more info visit: www.royalfree.nhs.uk
