This Morning star rejects cancer treatment that could buy him a month to live saying it’s ‘poison’ and he’ll die at home
HAIRDRESSER to the stars Trevor Sorbie has revealed he’s turned down chemotherapy that would have given him another month to live.
The 76-year-old, often seen on This Morning, slammed the treatment as “poison” and insisted he’ll die at home.
Trevor last month revealed he has terminal bowel cancer, which has now spread to his liver.
Despite being given the option for chemo, Trevor told The Times in an emotional interview: “I can’t face any more of that poison.
“When I asked a nurse if I’d still be here at Christmas, she said, ‘We don’t know, Trevor’. And that annoyed me. I’ve got cancer in my body, but not in here…
“My brain is my engine and I’ll go when I’m ready.
“I’m going to defy medical science.
“If the cancer reaches my brain, then I’ll accept it, but until then, I’m in charge, and I’m going on my terms.”
The award-winning hairdresser has styled Dame Helen Mirren and model Naomi Campbell’s hair.
He’s also cut the locks of Adam Ant, Bryan Ferry, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, the Beach Boys, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones and Robbie Williams.
Trevor lives with his third wife Carole, and their much-loved cavalier spaniel, Lisbon, in Hampshire where he intends to pass away.
Head-strong Trevor has refused to have a funeral, adding: “Too upsetting. When the time comes my ashes will be interred with Carole’s and our little dog.”
