Michael Schillinger was given proton beam therapy as part of a clinical trial at The Christie
A dad-of-two was shocked to be given a devastating cancer diagnosis after finding a lump on his neck while shaving.
Following his diagnosis in 2020, Michael was referred to The Christie hospital in Manchester in September of that year, where he was treated with proton beam therapy at The Christie in Manchester as part of a clinical trial. He became only the ninth adult patient to join the TORPEdO clinical trial. Michael said: "I was referred to Dr Price at The Christie in September. Meeting him helped to change my whole outlook on the diagnosis. Until then, I had felt out of control, but Dr Price explained everything and what it meant.
He added: “I can’t imagine having a better experience anyway in the world. The staff were remarkable, very attentive, and every detail had been thought about. Michael's uncle was diagnosed with less severe throat cancer five years before Michael but had a completely different experience as proton therapy was not an option then.
