Son saves dad twice giving bone marrow then a kidney
Briefly

Joshua Andrew selflessly donated his kidney to his father, David, whose kidney function was declining due to past chemotherapy. This is not the first time Joshua has helped save his father's life; he previously donated bone marrow during David's cancer treatment. After the successful operation at the Royal Free Hospital, both are now recovering at home. David's health was further complicated by a serious bike accident but he remains hopeful. Joshua looks forward to returning to Australia, while their family expresses immense pride in their courage and perseverance.
The main thing was that I knew I wanted to help my dad. The nursing and surgery team at the Royal Free Hospital talked through every aspect of what was about to happen.
The team here have been great. I was nervous about it for Joshua, but they really put us at ease and explained everything clearly.
