A dad from Blackpool has been given just a year to live after a seemingly normal breakfast turned into a life-changing moment. Des Longstaff, 39, was at work when he sat down to eat a bacon and sausage sandwich—only to realise something was wrong, reported the Manchester Evening News.
“I hadn’t put any sauce on or anything, but it got lodged in my oesophagus,” he recalled. Despite drinking a pint of water, the food wouldn’t budge. “It was to the point where you’re thinking you’re choking,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘Am I not chewing it properly?’”
