Rock Star Mike Peters in Remission from Aggressive Cancer After NHS Trial
The Alarm frontman, diagnosed with Richter's syndrome, credits experimental therapy for his recovery.
- Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm, is in remission from an aggressive lymphoma following an NHS clinical trial.
- Peters was diagnosed with Richter's syndrome, a transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) into a more aggressive form, just days before a planned US tour.
- The trial at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester combined acalabrutinib, a targeted therapy, with standard chemotherapy.
- Doctors now aim to find a suitable donor for a stem cell transplant to prevent the leukaemia from returning.
- Peters, who has battled cancer for nearly three decades, expressed gratitude for the support from fans and the medical team.
