An Epsom man with two brain tumours is having a gig put on by a group of his friends to raise money for his specialised treatment in Istanbul.

Dan Beesley’s first tumour was diagnosed in early 2015, after he had a seizure while driving.

He went to A&E and they found the 10cm tumour at the front of his brain.

Within two weeks, he was being operated on by a neurosurgeon in Salford, and although it took longer than expected, the operation was a success.

After a six-week course of radiotherapy, the tumour had nearly gone, but two years later, a biannual MRI scan showed two new tumours had developed – one in the original site and another at the back by the brain stem.

The front tumour was already at stage four.

After more surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Dan was recommended a clinic abroad that uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy, heat therapy, intravenous victamin C and B17 and a unique method of using glucose suppressors to starve the cancer cells of sugar.

Once the cancer cells are starved, Dan will have a high dose of chemotherapy mixed with glucose.

Dan’s Justgiving page has reached its £50,000 target, but aftercare is likely to cost more.

The fundraising gig will be a celebration of grunge legend Chris Cornell, on December 9 upstairs at the Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton Oval.
