He claims he was fobbed off by doctors.
A dad who went to seek help from his doctors after experiencing extreme fatigue and chest pains was wrongly told he had depression and acid reflux before he was diagnosed with cancer.
"I would come home from work and feel really fatigued and was having to go for a nap. I started to get pains in the centre of my chest which felt like pressure but I didn’t really think it was anything to worry about." "It didn’t do anything and I still didn’t feel right but they had told me to just keep taking it and it will eventually help. The fatigue was still bad and I could still feel the pressure so I went back to the doctors again and they said could it be stress. I said my life was good, I have a good job, I didn’t have anything to be stressed about and I didn’t feel worried about anything.
But while waiting for the results Ricky took a ‘funny turn’ at home and had to call an ambulance and paramedics took him to A&E. Medics at Royal Gwent Hospital rushed through his biopsy and on March 14 Ricky was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma. A CT revealed he had further lumps in his abdomen, in front and behind his spleen.
