A West Lothian mum has called on a pioneering cancer treatment to be made available on the NHS in Scotland after she paid £14,000 to get the surgery in England.

Audrey Sirrell, from Livingston, travelled to the Princess Grace Hospital in London to get Nano Knife surgery to remove cancer tumours from her breast and lung.

Audrey says the surgery, which destroys tumours, has completely changed her quality of life and wants to make people more aware that alternative treatments to radio and chemotherapy exist.

She said: “Before I got the Nano Knife I was getting radio and chemotherapy for the tumour in my chest and the tumour in my lung and I was really quite sick.

“After the Nano Knife treatment I’ve no pain whatsoever. The quality of life that I’ve had is like night and day so I want to highlight that it’s out there. It’s available in England but not in Scotland and not on the NHS.”
