This might not be the easiest way to get in good with the in-laws. But this guy’s set for LIFE now . . .
A guy in Boston named Bob Mulkern was diagnosed with liver cancer last summer, and his only option was a transplant from a living donor. We’re not sure how old he is, but he looks like he’s in his early 60s.
So his entire family got tested. And it turned out the only person who was a match was his daughter Amanda’s FIANCÉ, Nick.
Bob was in pretty bad shape by that point. He’d lost a lot of weight. And Nick says he knew that if Bob didn’t make it, he’d never forgive himself.
So back in February, doctors removed 60% of Nick’s liver . . . gave it to Bob . . . and it all went GREAT.
Less than three months after the surgery, Bob was well enough to make it to Nick and Amanda’s wedding. He even danced. And each section of the liver is regenerating. So pretty soon, they’ll both have full-sized livers again.
Bob recently joked that Nick never needs to buy him a Father’s Day gift. And if Amanda ever gets angry, he’ll ALWAYS take Nick’s side in a fight. (WCVB)
