A widow who was never shown her husband's original scan results before he was killed by cancer has now been 'insulted' by a £100 offer she believes would 'sweep it under the carpet'. Roy Allen died aged 70 back on March 30, 2019, leaving behind wife Linda and son Steve.
The family, from Astley, have since spent more than three years trying to get to the bottom of why he was able to get so close to death before discovering he was terminally ill. Roy was given a scan at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary - also known as Wigan Infirmary - in February 2019, but never received the results.
After his illness deteriorated - with his family still unaware of what it was - Roy was rushed to Royal Bolton Hospital on March 27, 2019. He had another scan, showing he had cancer in his liver and lungs, but it came just days before Roy died in hospital.
