Homes Under The Hammer's Tommy Walsh issues cancer update after new treatment

Homes Under the Hammer and former Garden Force celeb Tommy Walsh has shared how he's fighting his cancer head-on. The 67 year old detailed his experience with a new innovative radiation therapy he received from the NHS, aimed at targeting specific cancer cells. He revealed: "My cancer came back earlier this year....they found it again under the lung."

Speaking about his latest prognosis, Tommy said: "So I had to have this new treatment called SABR and what it is is radiotherapy which targets it to an exact spot without damaging the organs around it. So they used that and it shrunk. It is now not anywhere else. It is going away. Because it is shrinking it will shrink down to nothing and disappear. I will then just have to have annual checks. It has worked for me really well.

The presenter, who worked on Ground Force with Charlie Dimmock and Alan Titchmarsh from 1997 to 2005, expressed relief about avoiding the alternative surgical procedure, adding: "So I did not want but we had that as a backup. The SABR treatment has worked and I am healthy so I have not been in any pain.", reports the Mirror.
