Family of man, 23, who died days after cancer diagnoses hit out at hospital for 'neglectful lack of care'

The family of a man, aged 2, are accusing the hospital of 'neglectful lack of care' after he tragically died just 13 days after being diagnosed with cancer. Ryan Brown's twin sister is hitting out at the hospital over the care of her brother who had Stage 4 bowel cancer.

On May 1, Ryan was found to have a 15x12cm mass in his bowel, with further evidence of the disease in his liver and lymph nodes, after vomiting faecal matter. His mum and dad were in Tenerife on holiday and were told the devastating news over Facetime.

His twin sister Hope was by his side at Wishaw General Hospital when medical experts talked to him about treatment following his diagnosis. Medics discussed chemotherapy and surgery before later declaring he was too sick for further treatment, the Daily Record reports.
