Aidan O'Neill was told that there are no surgeons in Northern Ireland with the skills needed for the operation
A Co Antrim man is on a fundraising mission to raise £39,000 to fund his life-saving cancer operation.
Days later, he came across an article published by Belfast Live which detailed how a Belfast woman had been in the same situation and discovered SABR treatment being administered by Dr James Good, Clinical Director of Stereotactic Radiotherapy at GenesisCare in Oxford which had reduced her tumour so that it was operable.
"Dr Charles Imber at the Cleveland Clinic in London was part of the multidisciplinary team which had been looking at the SABR treatment in the hope it would reduce it enough so that I could undergo a surgery called Appleby Procedure. Shauna Gibson from RunAnon explained that they are always fundraising for charity, but Aidan's case makes them more determined to raise the money.
"I have had a really tough year and a half with the chemo. I would have got my chemo on a Thursday, went home and had a sleep then Shauna would have come round and picked me up to take me to training."Running has got me out of bed every day. I am taking about 50 tablets a day, I always have pain in my back but I still get up and run."My surgeon is a runner himself, and we have said that maybe next year we will run the London Marathon together for Pancreatic Cancer.
