An open letter by a woman pleading for expert cancer care for her seriously ill husband has been sent to Health Minister, Simon Harris.

“All I want to know is that my husband, Gino, is getting the best care possible, ” said Kelli Appezzato yesterday.

Gino Appezzato underwent complex surgery at St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin to remove a tumour four weeks ago.
