Dad-of-four diagnosed with cancer he 'never heard of' left medics stumped

A man was given a shocker cancer diagnosis after medics were stumped at the cause of pains from one side of his body. Father-of-four Chris Russell received the news of a form of the illness he had never heard of.

The construction worker from Manchester spent a year bouncing from one medical specialist to the next without a definitive answer on why he was in pain. He first alerted a doctor to a lump on his shoulder before multiple tests, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The 54-year-old was given the terrible news that, after further investigation, the lump was in fact a secondary tumour, meaning he had cancer that had spread from where it first originated.
