ITV This Morning star rejects cancer treatment that could buy him a 'month to live'

An ITV This Morning star has rejected cancer treatment that could buy him a month to live saying it’s "poison" and he’ll die at home. ITV This Morning regular Trevor Sorbie has revealed he's turned down chemotherapy that would have given him another month to live.

The 76-year-old slammed the treatment as "poison" and insisted he'll die at home. Trevor told The Times in an emotional interview: "I can’t face any more of that poison. When I asked a nurse if I’d still be here at Christmas, she said, ‘We don’t know, Trevor’. And that annoyed me. I’ve got cancer in my body, but not in here...

“My brain is my engine and I’ll go when I’m ready. I’m going to defy medical science. If the cancer reaches my brain, then I’ll accept it, but until then, I’m in charge, and I’m going on my terms.” Speaking of how she’s feeling, his wife Carole saidL “It’s totally overwhelming most days, but I get my strength through this man - he’s guiding me through a good death - living a good life and dying a good death - and up until then I hadn’t through about that, but what we do every day now is show thanks for every day that we have and wake up together and it’s all the simple things.

"Our little dog is pure medicine, we have a wonderful family, and we are supported by the whole Trevor Sorbie family… and we are all being guided by Trevor.” Trevor said: “I wanted to be an artist! But I got bullied at school and my dad was a barber, and he said come into the salon… and I found hairdressing easy! I was cutting people’s hair within three months, so I was still quite creative.”

He went on, saying: “The brain rules the body - the heart play a big part as well - but that [the brain] is the engine room and because I’ve got a charity and have helped many women through cancer by cutting wigs for them and doing that, people handle it in different ways, there is no right or wrong way.

"I believe the mind is stronger than any other function… doctors have even said ‘Trevor, you’re breaking medical science, you shouldn’t be here right now’.”
