A man who went to his GP more than 20 times after losing blood and claiming he looked like a skeleton said it took more than two years before he was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer.
John Clegg, who worked as a medical secretary at Nottingham's Lings Bar Hospital, noticed a change in his irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms in late 2019, just two months after he married wife Claire.
He had always been able to manage the condition since his diagnosis in 2005, the 37-year-old suspected something was wrong, saying it got to a point where he was losing blood 10 to 15 times a day.
