An NHS oncology nurse is being forced to crowdfund treatment for her own terminal cancer - as the drug is not available on the NHS.

Brave Laura Harris, 42, has devoted her life to helping cancer patients but has been told there is no treatment available for her own fight with the disease.

She was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer early last year and given just three months to live.
