'Hero' dad died after son 'knew something was wrong'

A dad of six died just months after one of his sons knew there was something wrong.

Brian Noone from Widnes was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in August 2016 with his family rallying around him to ensure he received care at home, and thanks to the support from Macmillan that became a possibility. 42-year-old James described the heartbreaking deterioration of his dad in a short space of time, with the death hitting him hard.

James told the ECHO : "I knew at the time there was something wrong because my mum and dad were being quite cagey about something and my dad, you could see he had deteriorated quite badly over the last six months but they were going for tests at the time. You could see something was amiss but I didn't know what it was.
