A woman who received a stem cell donation finally met the German national who saved her life during an emotion reunion in Greenock.
Gillian Duffy, a football coach from the town, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2018. After an agonising two year wait for a matching donor on the Anthony Nolan stem cell register, she was paired with Kay-Uwe - a German volunteer firefighter who was listed on the DKMS donor list.
Gillian received the donation three years ago but, due to Covid restrictions and strict donor rules regarding contact, the pair were unable to meet before now.
