A 'thankful' young man has decided to give something back after going through years of difficult medical treatment as a child.
In 2006, Cian McGrath began feeling more tired than usual while "bruises came out of nowhere". Eventually, he was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of six.
Following the diagnosis, Cian, of Allerton Road, went through four years of cancer treatment which ended in 2010 when he was aged 10. Now, at the age of 22, Cian is studying medicine at University and says his placement at the oncology department of Newcastle hospital has really hit home to him.
