Aiden is now undergoing gruelling chemotherapy 😔
A 23-year-old barman found out he had a rare form of cancer after thinking it was just a stomach bug - and is now undergoing gruelling chemotherapy.
“I thought I had a stomach bug so I just ignored it and went to work. I then felt really rotten having bad night sweats and feeling really tired. I’d come in from work at 5pm and would need to sleep. Aidan was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia - a rare cancer thought to affect only 160 people in the UK each year.
Aidan spent a month in the haematology ward at Monklands Hospital where he was hit with setback after setback suffering numerous infections, including a serious lung infection. Despite his devastating diagnosis and the gruelling treatment still ahead of him, Aidan insists he is determined to stay positive through it all.
Now in a show of support his workmates at the Greenhills Bar have rallied round the Celtic fan and organised a charity Celtic locals v Rangers locals match to raise funds for Blood Cancer UK.Bar manager Nicola Farrell said: “Our staff members Ross Murray and Tony Farrell really wanted to do something for Aidan after hearing his news. We all grouped together and organised a charity match.“We just want to stand by Aidan. Absolutely everybody in the pub and the community knows who he is.
