Declan had is kidney removed on Saturday 4th September, 2021 which he documented on his Instagram feed, @the_irish_southafrican. He shared these videos with us and allow us to compile them into one programme covering his two weeks from diagnosis to surgery. You can view that video here www.kcuk.org.uk/declangreggainsmith .

Within his vlogging, Declan made a specific video about his symptoms which led him to get himself checked out. This is an incredibly insightful and informative video which should be taken on board by all to look out for symptoms and if you see them get them checked, regardless of how minor they may seem.
