Broadcaster helps cancer group set up

RTÉ journalist Tommie Gorman has played a leading role in establishing a support group for people with a rare cancer that he has been dealing with for almost 20 years.

Mr Gorman, the broadcaster’s Northern editor, was treated for an advanced carcinoid tumour in the late 1990s.

Last November Mr Gorman spoke to cancer survivors about the scientific advances that have kept him alive.
