James Whale considered euthanasia after second cancer diagnosis
Radio presenter James Whale has said he considered euthanasia after being diagnosed with cancer for a second time.The veteran broadcaster, 69, said he had abandoned the idea of going to the Dignitas assisted dying clinic in Switzerland after realising how much it would upset his family and friends.Whale recently revealed he has tumours in his kidney, spine, brain and lungs, 20 years after having a kidney removed.Speaking to Dan Wootton on talkRadio, he said: “When I was first told, I thought, ‘Oh gosh, not again, well I think I will book my trip to Dignitas’. You know, the place in Switzerland where you can get it all over with in matter of moments?“I thought maybe that might be the best way to go.
