Excerpted from “Christopher Hitchens takes on new drug regime in hope of cancer cure” By EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE, The Daily Mail, Last updated at 12:17 AM on 26th January 2011
[SIZE="+2"]B[/SIZE]uoyed by a visit by his friend, playwright Sir Tom Stoppard – and a note of encouragement from ex-President George W Bush whom he’s often mocked – British-born, Washington-based Christopher Hitchens has embarked on a promising new drugs regime which he hopes will cure his cancer of the oesophagus.
“They found a ‘match’ that is specific for my condition, and are using a targeted drug called Gleevec which doesn’t have so many of the awful side-effects that nearly checked me out earlier this month. So after some hellish months I hope to find that the hanging-on was worth it.” — Christopher Hitchens¹
