A Scots teen battled against the odds after learning that he might not walk again following a shock cancer diagnosis
.
The brave teen was rushed to the Royal Hospital Sick Kids in Edinburgh where after examination the doctors discovered he had leukaemia with tumours putting pressure on his spine. Despite the doctors warning that he might never walk again, in August 2021, Aidan took his first steps after five gruelling months of physiotherapy.
Top news stories today "I am so proud of him. He would see me cry and tell me, 'I'm not upset, so you shouldn't be upset'. But I had to explain it's different for a parent. We can protect our kids as much as we can, we can tell them to wait for the green man before crossing the road, but we can't protect them from cancer."
The teen missed three of his sibling's birthdays while he was in the hospital and his mum says this was something that he found really hard.
