A widow who never saw her husband's original scan results before he died of cancer been 'insulted' by a £100 offer. Roy Allen had a scan in February 2019 but did not learn of his terminal diagnosis until three days before he died.
As reported by Manchester Evening News, Roy's wife Linda and son Steve, from Astley in Greater Manchester, have since spent more than three years trying to get to the bottom of why Roy he was able to get so close to death before discovering he was terminally ill. And Linda slammed a £100 offer from the NHS Trust involved.
Roy had worked as a plumber from leaving school until the final months of his life, well past retirement age. But during the winter of 2018, Roy became unwell, losing weight and suffering nightmares. Linda says it was when he went for a flu vaccine and the nurse commented that he didn't "look so good" that the family became more concerned.
