A dad who began to experience fatigue, thirst and pains has been overwhelmed with support after a devastating diagnosis.
Gareth Dixon previously spoke out about his struggles to get a GP appointment when he began to feel unwell earlier this year. But when he began to experience chest pains as well as hip and eye socket pain, his family insisted he call 111 before heading to Warrington Hospital A&E.
During the 20-hour wait in the emergency department, he claims that a doctor told him to chase up an appointment with his GP. But refusing to leave until he had been given a blood test, Gareth was eventually diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer - Plasma Cell Leukaemia.
