All of Harry Simpson’s Christmases came at once when he rang the hospital bell to signal he was in remission from cancer, on December 28.
Not only was the Belfast man celebrating reaching a milestone he feared he might never see, he was doing so having met the woman of his dreams - who fate had brought to his hospital room.
So for Harry being diagnosed last March with a rare and deadly form of leukaemia, proved to have a positive side as without his cancer, he and Ciara Allen might never have got together. Now back at home he says, “Meeting Ciara has shown me that everything, even cancer, can have a positive side - if I hadn’t been ill, we wouldn’t have met”.
