Co Antrim woman distraught as brother dies from rare cancer 'after being misdiagnosed'

Christine Courtney, from Antrim, said the family could have had more time with her brother Daniel McCloskey if he wasn't misdiagnosed by consultants at Antrim Area Hospital last year.

The 36-year-old first attended the hospital in June 2021 after experiencing chest pain, and a CT scan showed a 3cm mass on his heart. However, at this time Daniel was told it appeared to be inflammation that would go away on its own.
