Mal Morris, a 66-year-old electrician, was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer, after suddenly falling ill in September 2023. Initially deemed inoperable, he was later recommended for immunotherapy, which his family believes saved his life. After a year of treatment, Mal learned that his cancer had spread and that immunotherapy was no longer effective. He is now seeking histotripsy, a new non-invasive treatment available only in the U.S., which requires significant funding. An online fundraiser has raised over £16,000 to help cover the costs of his treatment in California. Mal expressed gratitude for the support he has received during this challenging time.
