A man who was diagnosed with blood cancer states that he was given days to live after a sudden devastating diagnosis.
Nathan Bingham, 29, says that he developed symptoms of pressure in both his head and face and after his colleagues pointed out a swelling in his face, he contacted a GP.

"Food would get stuck in my windpipe and water made a strange gurgling noise as a drank. I became very worried again and I contacted my GP and begged for a face to face as I knew something wasn't quite right.
"I explained everything that had been going on and the GP said that it sounded like acid reflux and it had damaged my windpipe. I was prescribed an antibiotic and an antacid tablet and also got my bloods checked.
"The tablets made me feel even worse, and to top it off when my bloods came back the results were, 'you have a small bit of inflammation, probably due to the sinusitis'.
"I was not happy at this point but I trusted my GP and I wasn't one to second guess a medical professional. From here my jaw was pushed out
