When Sue Walters was diagnosed with leukaemia, she hoped that the best of medical science would be used to cure it.
What she could never have anticipated was that her life would be saved by an 18-year-old boy from a remote German village.
Sues only chance of survival was a stem cell transplant previously known as a bone marrow transplant.
What Nicola has done is amazing it really is a gift of life. If I hadnt had the transplant, it was unlikely Id have lived beyond three months,’ said Sue Walters of her donor Nicola Gerber
