This is such an inspirational story about our colleague Dom, who’s one of our head office colleagues. Thank you for sharing it Dom 💚
Dom’s life changed in 2019, when a mole on his back turned out to be malignant melanoma. This Christmas, Dom is grateful for the gift of time with his family 🎄
After moving to Leeds, his wife, Lizzie, encouraged him to see a new GP, who referred him for further tests. There, Dom was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, which had already spread to his lymph nodes. This eventually led to the diagnosis of stage 4 cancer.
Since then, Dom has undergone 67 rounds of immunotherapy, which have shrunk his tumours and allowed him to keep living life to the fullest. Despite facing challenges, he remains positive and active, inspiring others with his strength.
“I’m proof that research works,” he says. “You can still live your life.”
Dom would like to thank all the amazing NHS teams, friends and family for all their wonderful support.
Thank you Dom, for sharing your story. We're wishing you and your family a joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year ❤
