Lauren Boyle, 35, is now in remission following a unique stem cell transplant that she says is a miracle – after medics told her they feared running out of treatment options
A mum has defied the odds in an incredible ‘miracle’ comeback from cancer after being told it was ‘incurable’. Lauren Boyle is now in remission after receiving a unique stem cell transplant that she says is a miracle.
The 35-year-old nursing assistant from Tarbolton has turned cancer on its head after doctors feared they had run out of treatment options. But a new £250,000 treatment made available on the NHS has worked wonders with the stem cell transplant known as CAR-T proving effective.
The brave mum-of-two had to spent an entire month confident to a hospital bed after she was left with no immune system following the new treatment, reports the Daily Record. Lauren has opened up on her ‘isolation hell’ with the mum admitting the gruelling lockdown in a Glasgow hospital left her “losing the will to live.”
Lauren said: “It was really hard but I got there. I had to spend four weeks in a room, I wasn’t able to leave at all. I was an emotional wreck by the end of it. I was losing the will to live.
