Following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in December 2014 Mo Haque was given “a small chance of success”. Mo’s life changed overnight. “Do I Choose to Stay?” became a primary question for him. Exhausting options available on the NHS, Mo embarked on an astonishing personal journey to crowd-fund his own treatment. Following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in December 2014 Mo Haque was given “a small chance of success”. Mo’s life changed overnight. “Do I Choose to Stay?” became a primary question for him. He went through radiation, 18 chemotherapy cycles, and a major surgery, to then being told “there’s no more treatment available”. Refused breakthrough immunotherapy on the NHS, the odds of surviving were stacked against him. Mo “choosing to stay”, crowdfunded over £186,000 to access the potentially lifesaving drug and has seen his tumours reduce by over 50%. He now shares his story of hope, love and gratitude. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
