A three-year-old boy from Pontypool is heading to New York for a cancer vaccine trial after a drug that could stop his illness returning was withdrawn for new NHS patients. Teddy Sloman was diagnosed with aggressive neuroblastoma last year, but recent scans found no active disease. His family raised more than £300,000 to fund the private treatment, which his mother calls a glimmer of hope.
