Danny Johnston, 47 tragically passed away on February 17 from stomach cancer, only a month after doctors informed him of his diagnosis.
A dad-of-two died after spending around 200 hours in A&E with a misdiagnosed 'stomach ulcer' which actually turned out to be terminal cancer. Danny Johnston tragically passed away on February 17 only a month after being diagnosed with stomach cancer, which the family were shocked to discover had been listed on his medical records since November 2022 without their knowledge.
"A nurse said 'don't let him go' and when I asked why she said 'do you not know?' and she asked me what I thought it was and I answered that it was an ulcer in his duodenum and that he was waiting for a procedure or op and her eyes started to well up. She said 'you need to know something. He's got cancer'.
"The scan wasn't read off in time for the weekly multi-disciplinary team meeting and so we had to wait another week. They explained it was cancer and quite advanced. She added that she was concerned that delays could have been caused by his consultant being on leave and then off sick for the entire month of December with no one else seemingly asked to take over Danny's care.
"He was in the Countess for around 10 to 12 weeks. They could have done any test they wanted but they left him to suffer. He was failing to thrive and still received no treatment. "I suppose it's still sinking in. He was only told he had cancer on January 15 and he passed away a month later on February 17. We are so glad that our family are being so supportive."
