A dad says his cancer was missed for months after doctors misdiagnosed his lymphoma - as acid reflux and depression. HGV driver Ricky Evans, 32, said he started experiencing extreme fatigue and chest pain eight months ago.
He went to his doctors but they told him he had acid reflux and sent him away with omeprazole. The pain continued and Ricky went back to a GP who gave him stronger medication for acid reflux before suggesting he might have depression.
Dad-of-two Ricky said he was given antidepressants but only took one because he didn’t think he needed them. In January lumps began to appear on his neck - but Ricky said he was fobbed off by doctors again who said it was just swollen glands.
