Meet our patients
Matt with his Son Charlie
Matt was just 19 when he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia. He was one of the first patients to be treated in the new unit. After several months of intensive chemo we were delighted to tell Matt he was cured. Since then Matt has gone from strength to strength and lived his life to the full. The story gets better as Matt proved the odds wrong and became a dad in 2006. Here at LINC we love hearing success stories like this one and take pride in the part we played in Matt’s recovery. It’s also a real tribute to increasing technology and treatment.

Simon was aged just 39 when he discovered that he had non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. At the time he had a young family and was under going intensive chemotherapy, and also had periods when he needed to stay in hospital.
Simon has now been in remission for a few years and regularly takes part in LINC events, supporting other patients that are also going through intensive chemotherapy and are being treated for cancer. What better tribute to the staff who have cared for him, than to return to a happy, healthy life with his family and friends, taking part and raising funds for LINC.
