Fit and healthy dad-of-four given only days to live after suffering from stomach ache

A fit and healthy dad-of-four has been told he has just weeks left to live after suffering from stomach aches and weight loss. Jonathan Nichols, 45 was given the devastating news on January 21, 2023 that he only had a matter of days left with his family after he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia.

The 'inspiring' father, who is a keen runner, first started experiencing symptoms in the summer of 2021 but put his fatigue and weight loss down to the fact he was running 30k a week. However, when his symptoms persisted his wife, Kimberly Nicols urged him to see a doctor, the MEN reports.

The family's world fell apart when Jonathan was first given his diagnosis but his body seemed to be responding well to treatment. Sadly, it stopped working and doctors explored multiple other avenues before informing Jonathan that his illness was now terminal.
