Glasgow nurse treats mum and son for cancer more than 30 years apart

Andrew was given the all-clear in 2024 and his most recent scan last week showed no signs of the cancer returning.

He said he and his mum had had a “bucket list year” following his treatment along with his dad, Derek, and sister, Alyssa.

The family enjoyed trips to New York and Florida, where they visited the Disney and Universal theme parks.

But they also welcomed a new member of the family in the form of cockapoo, Benny.

“He was wheeled into theatre and that was the last thing that he asked us,” said Stephanie.

“Him and the anaesthetist were chatting away, looking at pictures of his dog.

“We just thought, right, we’re committed now, we’re getting this dog.”
