Overview
- Alex Warwick, 23, a University of Liverpool medical student, was diagnosed with a very high‑grade glioma being treated as a glioblastoma.
- A friend first spotted slurred speech during a FaceTime call while Alex ordered a takeaway, leading to hospital assessment and emergency surgery.
- Doctors inserted a shunt due to severe brain pressure, and Alex later underwent NHS chemotherapy and radiotherapy but has seen tumour regrowth.
- With standard options running out, his family are pursuing an immunotherapy course in Germany, with costs estimated at about £200,000 including travel and insurance.
- A JustGiving appeal that stood at £58,000 earlier rose to nearly £66,000 after readers responded, as Alex expresses hope to resume his studies later this year.
