Man with cancer having second multi-organ transplant surgery

A man told he was dying from inoperable is set to make history by having multi-organ transplant surgery for the second time in a bid to beat the disease.

Adam Alderson, 43, first entered medical textbooks in 2015 when surgeons removed a massive tumour and transplanted six organs from a single donor to save his life after other doctors told him nothing more could be done.

He begged surgeons to try the pioneering op, which involved removing his stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, spleen, gall bladder, appendix, most of his liver and abdominal wall.
