'Brilliant' man, 30, dies after thinking he had 'heartburn'

Tributes have flooded in for a "brilliant" man who died after a battle with cancer.

Mike Edwards died earlier this week after being diagnosed with cancer last year. The ECHO previously reported how the 30-year-old had began experiencing a mild cough which wouldn't go away on its own.

However, Mike started to experience difficulties swallowing and was later diagnosed with a cancer called adenocarcinoma in his oesophagus.
