A tragic Edinburgh dad sadly passed away just three months after a shock cancer diagnosis that left him with debilitating back pain and unable to get out of bed.
Tam Coyle, 60, from Niddrie, had a persistent cough but when he went to the GP with chest pains he was diagnosed with pleurisy. Partner Jackie Ann Dempsey, 45, didn't believe this was the cause and fought to get medics to investigate further.
After ending up in hospital with crippling back pain, Jackie convinced doctors to do more scans and the difficult news came back that Tam had terminal cancer that spread all over his body.
