It was daunting because, you know, like Josh said, you just didn't know if that was going to work. And I always said to him, if it doesn't work, it's not your fault. It's just, you know, one of those bad luck stories in life. On the flip side is, you know, we come out the other side and it worked.
Unfortunately, one of the side effects of chemotherapy and the stem cell transplant that I had that failed was that it caused damage to my kidneys.

So we always knew that it was going to kind of come to the point of me having to give, or somebody having to give him a kidney. I'd said from the start, kind of three or four years ago, I'll do it. I've already done one. I'll do another one for you. That wouldn't be a problem. I'll happily do that for my dad.

So I always knew I wanted to give him the kidney, but it was just what could happen later on down the line. One of the risks is high blood pressure. I mean, I've got high blood pressure in the family, but It's not something that I'm bothered about because I want to live now.

So living now means having my dad around and having my mum around with me and, you know, being able to have takeaways and watch a film together and mess about and listen to music and just do what we normally do. So I'm not bothered about what could happen in the future because we already know ourselves from his first diagnosis that life is not promised. So...

I'm not going to worry about what could or couldn't happen. I need to live for now. And right now I wanted to give him a kidney and have a good time with him.

Yeah, that was definitely a concern of mine. And, you know, if push comes to shove, I think at the end of the day, I was probably more apprehensive about him giving me the kidney, knowing that he already had saved my life once before. I mean, according to the consultants and the nurses, you can live a normal life with one kidney. But you're right, I was a bit more apprehensive.
