Dad-of-two dies after 200 hours in A&E with 'ulcer' which turned out to be cancer

A dad-of-two who spent around 200 hours in total in A&E with a suspected stomach ulcer has died after it turned out to be terminal cancer.

Danny Johnston, 47, tragically passed away last month, just weeks after his family were told he had cancer. They say Danny had been going in and out of hospital with severe symptoms such as vomiting blood from August 2022 and dropped more than three stone in weight.

Danny, from Hoole in Chester, was only told he had cancer by an agency nurse in A&E after he fell ill after a scan on January 14. His wife, Charlene, 37, has been left shocked to hear that cancer was apparently listed on his medical records in November 2022.
