A “perfectly healthy” dad who was left paralysed after being diagnosed with a rare disease is now fighting cancer in a tragic double blow.
Stephen Collier was out walking his dog when he felt pins and needles all over his body in December 2014. Once home, the 64-year-old began struggling to breathe and was immediately rushed to hospital.
Soon after his arrival, Stephen stopped breathing and was unable to move. In order to save his life, doctors placed him into a coma – one he would not wake up from until six months later.
