A 26-year-old man who had 'never been sick' was given just three weeks to live after a misdiagnosed 'viral infection' which turned out to be cancer left him 'struggling to breathe'. Harry Simpson, now 27, noticed a 'couple of purple spots' on his chest last February in the shower before he was due to fly out to Dubai, the Liverpool Echo reports.
The thrill seeker 'thought nothing of it' and spent the next fortnight skydiving, riding jet skis and celebrating his 26th birthday. However, following a later week of winter training in the mountains, Harry began to notice that something wasn't quite right with his health after his heart was going 'mad' and he couldn't catch a breath.
The 27-year-old said: "I was really tired, just fatigued. I was going to the gym and I was out of breath, nowhere near as good as what I could be. I went to my doctor and they were like, 'We think you might have a viral infection from Dubai', so they gave me antibiotics to take for about two weeks.
