A dad who had swollen lymph nodes before being diagnosed with a life-long condition has completed an "incredible" challenge.
Back in 2018, James Douglas, then 57, began to experience swelling on his neck that "wouldn't go away" and after three months decided to get it checked. Having had tests, it was confirmed he had Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia - a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells and tends to progress slowly over many years.
He told the ECHO : "It all happened rather quick, I was still pretty young when I was diagnosed but the message here is that if something doesn't feel right, go and get it checked out. You are not wasting anyone's time."
