Andy Nash - loss of a much loved colleague: Obituary

摘要

Our much beloved colleague Andy Nash, member of the URS Acoustics team, sadly passed away at the end of December aged 33. Since his diagnosis in late spring 2011 Andy fought a courageous battle against Myeloma (a type of cancer arising from plasma cells which are found in the bone marrow). Despite the risks involved, Andy decided to make the very brave decision of opting for a transplant, as this was the only choice to rid himself of the cancer. A suitable donor was eventually found and he underwent transplant surgery in July 2012. The initial signs were positive, so his recent illness and rapid decline came as a shock to us all. But the illness really was only a small part of an otherwise amazing life.
