'I've got a year to get back on my feet and I'm going to get back on my feet and I'm going to get back to running, because I'm a fighter..'
A Belfast runner says his miraculous turnaround in his battle with pancreatic cancer inspired him to bet his surgeon that they'd run the London Marathon together.
Aidan underwent 12 rounds of Folfirinox under the care of the Belfast Trust which successfully reduced his tumour, but even though it was shrunk the only cure for pancreatic cancer is surgery. This was done under Mr Charles Imber at the Cleveland Clinic London as it was private with further funds needed to be raised.
"But I suppose if this is to get it all out of my system, it's another three months, I've came this far and there's no point in putting the brakes on now." "The main thing I want to say is I appreciate everything so much that everyone has done and I really do feel lucky."
