'Cancer treatment was horrible'

UK scientists are beginning work to genetically test tumours from children with cancer.
They hope this will give younger patients access to newer, more personalised medicines and further improve survival rates.
The new test analyses changes in 81 different cancer genes.
Scientists say it should lead to "a more level playing field", and accelerate children's access to important new drugs.
Victoria Derbyshire spoke to Jack Daly who was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was seven, his mum Helen and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ health correspondent, Jane Dreaper.
