32-year-old woman cleared of cancer through CAR-T therapy
Helen Wynne Hughes, 32, who lives in Wales, has been cleared of cancer after becoming the first woman in Wales to get CAR-T therapy, The Daily Mail reported.
Helen was first diagnosed on Christmas Eve 2018 when scans revealed a mass on her chest 'the size of a grapefruit'.
Helen was diagnosed with lymphoma during her third pregnancy and gave birth just 10 weeks after starting chemotherapy.
She made memory boxes for the youngsters last Christmas to remember her, saying: 'I had to tell them "perhaps it is mummy's last Christmas." 'They are so small, it was very hard making memory boxes, looking back thinking I might not get to do things with them again.'
She said: 'When the doctor said it was clear we were in tears. Finally, there was no cancer at all. I was prepared for the worst but luckily CAR-T has saved my life.’
CAR-T cell therapies are available on the NHS for children and people up to 25 with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
The treatments involve taking a specific immune cell - known as T cells - from a patient's blood. T cells help the body fight infection by seeking out viruses and other pathogens, before killing them.
