Dad dies after 200 hours in A&E with 'ulcer' which turned out to be aggressive cancer
A dad-of-two who spent around 200 hours in A&E has died after his 'stomach ulcer' turned out to be terminal cancer.
She said: "He went in for a scan on January 14 and then as he was coming out he collapsed and at that point was really unwell. We went over to A&E as Danny said he wanted to go on a drip and get anti-sickness medication and go home. That was the plan. "They explained it was cancer and quite advanced. He was meant to go to the Christie for chemo but we didn't get there because by this point he was just so unwell. He passed away on 17 February."
Now, Charlene wants answers from the hospital, including why Danny's cancer went undetected at the beginning. She also fears that Danny experienced delays because his consultant went on leave and was then off sick for the entirety of December, with seemingly no one else asked to take over Danny's care.
"They could have done any test they wanted but they left him to suffer. He was failing to thrive and still received no treatment. Speaking of her heartbreak, Charlene said: "It's just such a shock. You don't expect this at the age of 37. It's hard to deal with.
