A dad who received a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis was misdiagnosed by doctors for months with acid reflux and depression. Ricky Evans said he began suffering with extreme fatigue and chest pain eight months ago before he was told he had lymphoma.
When he went to the doctors, the HGV driver was told he had acid reflux and was sent away with omeprazole, the MEN reports. However when the pain worsened, the 32-year-old returned to his GP who suggested he might have depression and gave him a stronger dose of medication.
The dad-of-two said: "I am usually a very active person but I started feeling really tired all of the time. I would come home from work and feel really fatigued and was having to go for a nap.
