A lorry driver who is fundraising for potential life-saving treatment has a new reason for wanting to beat brain cancer - his wife is expecting their second child.

Steven Fry had previously spoken of his desire to find a way to see his daughter Piper (3) grow up, and now he's doubly determined to succeed.

As previously reported in the Press, Steven Fry, who used to live in Inverkeithing, crashed into an empty shop in Beauly after suffering a seizure.

Steven had to be cut out of the tanker and airlifted to hospital. It was there that the cause of the blackout was found to be an undiagnosed and malignant tumour. Then in May last year, he was diagnosed with brain cancer. 

Steven’s wife Chloe is due to give birth in May.

He said: “That’ll be the last one we can actually have naturally due to me being in chemo. It’s made us very happy, it’s good we can have a family and everything.”

Now currently going through his third round of chemotherapy, Steven explained the side effects of the treatment.

“I’m on the third set of chemotherapy now, so this is every six weeks," he explained. "You get reactions against it, everyone’s different, the first one was headaches every day because the muscles are very inflamed, so it hurts the head very badly.

“The second time it was just like your hands are doing a kind of shaking, but it’s not a seizure, it’s just a reaction against the chemotherapy. So, it’s just all that kind of stuff, but it’s getting there.”

Steven sadly lost his mum last year as well. He said: “My mum died in September, so it’s been hard since then. She’s buried in Dalgety Bay. It’s hard, but I’ll get through life…”

The tumour is inoperable, but Steven and his family are fundraising to get him immunotherapy treatment that he cannot get on the NHS.

The treatment is potentially life-saving. The fundraiser has currently raised around £10,000, with the target being £50,000. Donations can be made to the fundraiser here.
