A pop musician with advanced cancer is turning his back on conventional treatments in favour of cannabis oil and other natural remedies. Deane Sutherland is remaining positive and says doctors were stunned by his reaction to being diagnosed with stage four cancer. Sutherland, who had hits in the 1980s and 90s with Satellite Spies, was first diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer, in 2017. Tumours spread to his neck, and at first he thought the cancer had been contained through radiation treatment. Sutherland is also taking apricot seeds and concentrated cannabis oil, which he sources from a friend.
