He says he has had two rounds of radiotherapy. And expects a favorable prognosis when his condition is examined next month.

He told The Daily Telegraph, “They got rid of a lot of the tumor. But there were still two cm left, originally it was eight.” “They’re just hoping that more double dosages. Would be enough to get rid of the final amount. I’ll wait and see how the next two dosages go, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.”

Illingworth has lent his support to the Assisted Dying Bill. Which received its second reading in the House of Lords in October and would allow mentally competent adults. To make the decision to end their own lives. After caring for his wife for the final years of her life prior to her death in March.

Currently, under the 1961 Suicide Act, anyone who is found. To have assisted someone in taking their own life faces a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail. However, Jersey’s parliament became the first in the United Kingdom. To endorse assisted dying earlier this month, with a draft law expected by 2023.

Illingworth expressed his displeasure:

“I don’t want to go through what my wife has gone through in the last year.” She was in excruciating discomfort as she moved from hospital to hospital. “I don’t want it,”

“I’d prefer to go quietly.” I believe in physician-assisted death. To be honest, there was no pleasure in life in the last 12 months because of the way my wife was, and I don’t see the value in living like that.

“But, because we don’t have assisted dying in England yet, you don’t have that option. They are debating it, and I believe it will happen sooner or later. Many doctors are opposed to it, but if they had to live as my wife did in her final year, they might reconsider.”
