Noddy Holder among first UK patients to receive new chemotherapy

Musician Noddy Holder has told how he is enjoying performing again at 78 after his life was saved by a new pioneering type of cancer treatment.

The Slade frontman was given six months to live after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in 2018, but recovered following care at The Christie hospital in Manchester.

The NHS confirmed Mr Holder, 78, was among the first patients in the UK to receive “a new regime of chemotherapy” for his specific type of adenocarcinoma cancer, meaning it had formed in the glandular tissue of his oesophagus.

Holder, from Walsall and now living in Cheshire, told BBC Breakfast: “Luckily for me, I’m still here five years later.”
