A widow who never received her husband's initial scan results before he died from cancer has now been 'insulted' by £100 NHS trust offer. Roy Allen passed away aged 70 on March 30, 2019, leaving behind his devastated wife Linda and son Steve.
The family, from Astley, have spent the last three years trying to find out why doctors failed to diagnose him before his illness became terminal. Roy had went for a scan at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary - also known as Wigan Infirmary - back in February 2019, but was never given the results.
Soon after, his condition deteriorated - with his family still left in the dark to what it was - and he was rushed to Royal Bolton Hospital on March 27, 2019. There, he underwent another scan which showed he had cancer in both his liver and lungs, Manchester Evening News reports. Just days later, Roy died in hospital.
