Dad’s Final Battle for Daughter’s Wedding | Manchester News

Jason Walker, a 57-year-old dad from Lancashire fighting his second battle with incurable multiple myeloma, is determined to walk his daughter down the aisle at her May wedding in Montenegro. Diagnosed in 2014 after years of unexplained back pain and double vision, he endured grueling chemo, even a heart attack, but survived two stem cell transplants and five years in remission—living an active life as a painter. Now, after relapse last November, he’s pioneering a new clinical trial at The Christie in Manchester testing POLB zero zero one, a drug designed to curb dangerous immune reactions from immunotherapy. With 14 cycles ahead, Jason sees this as his lifeline—and hopes it transforms care for future patients. Early results from the UK-wide trial are expected later this year.
