A Dubliner has told how he is "delighted" to be on the road to recovery after an unusual symptom led to a cancer diagnosis.The 70-years-old has been a volunteer driver for the Irish Cancer Society for many years and battled through his diagnosis with a positive attitude.
“It’s the cancer of your lymph nodes and mine happened to be on my spine which was a bit of a shock to me. I’d no cancer-like symptoms, just the pain that went away. They monitored it because they were afraid it could crack my spine and I’d end up paralysed.” “I told my son, the sad part of it was it was the same day that my younger son was meant to get married in Marbella but it was cancelled because of Covid, it was all bad news that day."“I was lucky that I wasn’t really ill with it the way some people are, apart from some nausea,” he continued.
“I’m delighted with myself, there’s 200,000 cancer survivors in Ireland, it’s not all bad news when you get the diagnosis.Paul battled cancer and now he’s back helping the Irish Cancer Society.He said: “I’m a volunteer for the Irish Cancer Society, most people get cancer and give something back by trying to help them. But I was a driver before my diagnosis, I’ve been driving for them for years. I take people from their homes to their treatment and then I bring them home again.
