An man went to his GP more than 20 times after losing blood and 'looking like a skeleton' but it took two years before he was diagnosed with stage four 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. Having 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.
Mr Clegg said he went to his practice, Castle Healthcare, more than 20 times between 2019 and 2021, but claimed there was "no urgency" by his GPs to properly recognise the signs, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
