Roz and his family were preparing to go to the United States for treatment.
A woman who has raised £ 320,000 to pay for cancer rescue treatment through crowdfunding must make donations after the NHS has agreed to pay the bill.
Roz Paterson had planned to raise £ 500,000 after learning last month that she might only have a few weeks to live.
The 52-year-old mother of two Glasgow children wanted to travel to the US for Car-T Cell because her cancer was resistant to chemotherapy.
However, it will now be funded to have treatment in England.
Roz, who now lives in Beauly, received her first diagnosis of lymphoma cancer last summer.

NHS Scotland had initially told him that the treatment she wanted was not available in Scotland and that she was not eligible for funding to travel to the south.
With the help of her friends and family, she started a fundraising campaign to raise funds for her treatment, which uses a drug called Kymriah at Mbadachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
& # 39; Something has just happened & # 39;
The Scottish Medicines Consortium is currently studying the use of Kymriah in some patients and is expected to publish its opinion on March 11th.
Hearing the latest news, Roz wrote on his blog: "Something has just happened, and like a magic wand, it changes everything.
"I am 90% sure, I am also certain that the NHS Scotland has approved funding for my treatment, without it being necessary to take an oath before the court."
"The ink is not dry, I do not have the letter yet in my little sweaty glove, but it looks good, my friends."
Roz is now scheduled to visit King's College Hospital in London in the coming days.
She thanked everyone who had donated to her crowdfunding campaign and said it would be returned to her.
Money from fundraising events already organized and still to be held would be donated to charities.
