A Cancer patient's fight for life could be taken to court.Jocelyn Hall suffers from kidney cancer.

Medical experts decided his best chance of life was with the drug Sutent - which costs around £30,000 a year per patient.

But despite appeals, Neath Port Talbot Local Health Board decided last week to deny him the drug.


Mr Hall's sister Rosie Snow, who has been fighting his case said: 'He's at a very low ebb at the moment.

'The LHB's decision absolutely took the wind out of our sails.

'Sutent is the only thing that will work for him. We are devastated.'"
