Richard Scott first went to his GP in March 2021 but it wasn't until after several more appointments that he got his diagnosis
A dad has been diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer - two years after he raised symptoms with his GP. Richard Scott, 41, started experiencing blood in his stool and severe tiredness and first went to his doctor in March 2021.
The charity worker, from Bristol, told the Mirror: “As the months went on my symptoms persisted, I trusted my GP’s advice and because they didn’t seem worried about my symptoms, I was reassured. [But] Anny was worried. He returned to the doctors in April 2022 with the same symptoms as well as aches, pains and more frequent visits to the toilet. The test showed high levels of calprotectin again which can indicate cancer.
