Broadcaster Mark Cagney has revealed he had two strokes in January and said despite losing a quarter of his sight he feels “incredibly lucky” to be alive. Mr Cagney candidly spoke about his experience on Newstalk’s The Hard Shoulder this evening, admitting that he does suffer some anxiety following the diagnosis. "You become aware that strokes don’t tend to be singular events... so you are aware that it can happen again,” he said. Mr Cagney first knew something was wrong when he was driving to his local supermarket on January 8. I don’t think I’ll ever stop having them,” he said.
