Scots teen who received exam results during chemo treatment set for top university
A teenager is set to start at a top university - after opening his exam results while undergoing chemotherapy.
Instead of celebrating the end of term with friends, 18-year-old Joram spent his time in an intensive care ward at the Western General Hospital, with tests revealing a mass pressing on blood vessels in his chest. Joram, who was found to be in remission in November, will begin his first year of a Chemical Engineering degree, after deferring for a year to allow himself time to recover."I'm looking forward to university. My first lecture is on September 19. But I'll never forget how tough cancer was.
"But I realised I did need that help, family and friends were there to give me support and that I should take their support." A photo of Joram on Bute smiling as he poses with alpacas has also been made into a poster which will be displayed in Cancer Research UK shops to mark Childhood cancer awareness month.
"Joram is a strong boy but of course he's broken down at times. That's normal, he's only human but Joram has been so positive through the most challenging of days.
