Scots teen learns to walk again despite fears he would lose use of his legs forever
08.07.2023 - 04:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots teen battled against the odds after learning that he might not walk again following a shock cancer diagnosis.
Aidan Hogg, 17, from East Lothian was diagnosised with leukaemia in March 2021.. He had initially complained about a sore back and it was believed at first that he had a kidney infection, reports Edinburgh Live.
However, one night two years ago Aidan came into his mum's bedroom and said he was losing the feeling in his legs.
The brave teen was rushed to the Royal Hospital Sick Kids in Edinburgh where after examination the doctors discovered he had leukaemia with tumours putting pressure on his spine.
His mum Emma explained that they also discovered another tumour that was putting pressure on an artery in his back and if they hadn't begun treatment when they did her son would have been paralysed.
The mum-of-six said: "I'll never forget that night, it was horrible. But in a way, it was a good job that he came in and told me because he didn't look unwell or feel unwell. Aidan was just lucky the doctors found out when they did."
Despite the doctors warning that he might never walk again, in August 2021, Aidan took his first steps after five gruelling months of physiotherapy.
The 42-year-old florist and author said: "They put him through radiotherapy, at the Western General, and chemotherapy. Operating on a back is too risky and they thought the radiotherapy would melt away the cancer masses that were putting pressure on his spine.
"But Aidan handled it all better than I did. He was in hospital for 10 months in total and I think there were only two days where he said 'I don't think I can manage today, I feel unwell.'
"I am so proud of him. He would see me cry and tell me, 'I'm not upset, so you shouldn't be
