However, the panel recently rejected his application again. Mr Maxwell said: "They feel it's not making a considerable benefit to my quality of life versus the cost.""I've found that hard to accept, because in my position, six to nine months is invaluable."There's no cost you can put on that, to have six or nine months with my family."Mr Maxwell said some private donors had offered help, but he planned to go through the appeals process to overturn the decision."The IPFR panel exists to support patients like me in Wales," he added.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said it had "worked extensively" with Mr Maxwell to raise awareness of his condition."We are unable to comment further on individual patient cases," the health board added.
