Man granted final wish at 12 while suffering from terminal brain cancer has turned 30

Glynnn said he 'wouldn't be here today' if not for the trial he took part in as a result of his intrahepatic bile duct cancer diagnosis in 2020

Newsroom May 10 01:28

A lad who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer when he was just 12 years old has just celebrated his 30th birthday.

Of course, receiving the news that the disease is terminal is devastating and is going to turn any family upside down, but there are happier stories that come from this.

Stories like Robert Glynn come to mind, who was told he had less than a year to live to eventually be cancer-free thanks to a new drug trial.

Glynnn said he ‘wouldn’t be here today’ if not for the trial he took part in as a result of his intrahepatic bile duct cancer diagnosis in 2020.
