Rod Neander, from western Canada, was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer in 2018.
A Canadian man has flown thousands of miles to the UK to meet the stem cell donor who helped save his life.He described recipient Rod Neander, who is from western Canada and in his early 60s, as “more like family” than a friend following the visit last month.
He said he felt “a bit of excitement and a bit of apprehension” on getting the call, but felt it was his “opportunity to do something good for someone else”. Once this period was up, Mr Marshall and Mr Neander started communicating via email and video calls, with the latter making the trip from Canada to Sheffield in April.“Meeting him in person made me feel that donating stem cells is the best thing that I’ve ever done.
