Former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor undergoing new cancer treatments he claims will extend his life

Andy Taylor of Duran Duran fame has been battling cancer since 2018, but thanks to a new treatment, he has some hopeful news to share.

Nearly a year ago, Taylor missed the band's induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame due to his failing health, and in his place he sent a letter explaining his diagnosis and how proud he was to have been able to survive long enough to see the accomplishment.

Shortly after, he said a scientist contacted him to discuss a treatment that could extend his life by five years. As he explained on BBC Breakfast, "The great irony is I missed the biggest night of my life, and within a week I was in touch with an amazing fellow called Sir Chris Evans, who is the most incredible scientist.

He did my genomics, looked at it, and said, 'There's a treatment that can save you.'" "Now this treatment, which is a nuclear medicine, Lutetium-177, is targeted so it only sees cancer cells," he continued. "It can't see healthy cells." "I had my first round of it six weeks ago — I'm in next week for another round — and it kills stage four cancer in your bones, and what it's effectively done is extend my life for five years." Evans, founder of The Cancer Awareness Trust, also spoke with BBC, saying, "When patients like Andy Taylor have unfortunately progressed to stage four prostate cancer with secondary metastases, particularly in the bone tissue, then treatment options are limited.
