A DAD given three months to live following a cancer diagnosis says cannabidiol oil has kept him alive for five years.
In September 2016, Graham Norton, 72 years old, was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Graham, of Wakefield, West Yorks, said: “Back in September 2016 we got the news that no one wants to hear, ‘you have cancer, and one that you have very little chance of surviving’.
“My daughter was getting married only a few months later and I desperately wanted to be able to walk her down the aisle before I got too poorly.
His attempts at radiotherapy and chemotherapy failed, so he searched for other options with Lynne, his wife and their two children.
Graham said: “Both came to me and suggested I try cannabidiol.”
The retired joiner was given doses derived from cannabis by pharmacist Tom Chapman, who runs company Well Lab.
Graham survived to watch his daughter Samantha’s wedding. Graham now sees him every four months, instead of monthly.
Graham said: “I still have cancer, but I’ve been given the gift of years with those I love.”
