A man living with an incurable form of cancer has said there is “life after diagnosis” after picking up two bronze medals in the World Transplant Games in Australia.
Richie Sheerin was in his mid 30s when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of bone cancer that means doctors will monitor his condition for the rest of his life.
Now in remission, the Derry man is seeking to raise awareness of the Transplant Games – a sporting event for organ and bone marrow transplant recipients, donors and families – and to inspire hope for those facing up to a difficult diagnosis.
