Default Friends fund Wilson's cancer drug

Friends of Manchester broadcaster Anthony Wilson are helping pay for his £3,500-a-month kidney cancer treatment after the NHS refused to fund it.

Wilson, 56, famous for setting up the Hacienda nightclub and Factory Records, had a kidney removed in January.

Doctors recommended he take the drug Sutent, after chemotherapy failed to beat the disease.

Members of the Happy Mondays and other acts he has supported over the years have started a fund to help pay for it.

He says his condition has improved and he believes the drug has stopped the cancer in its tracks.

It's crazy when you hear stories like this, somebody not being allowed potentially
life saving drugs on the NHS but people can get as much help as they need to stop smoking and fixing cosmetic problems
