UK news: Man, 20, given just weeks to live after going to A&E with lower back pain
Dylan Lamb, 20, noticed he was suffering from the pain in April 2022 but first shook it off thinking he had just pulled a muscle. He returned from university to his family home in Staffordshire and managed to get painkillers from his GP.
"His mum took him to A&E in unbearable pain and a blood test showed his white blood cells were through the roof. It all happened so fast, he was diagnosed with Leukaemia and then three days later he was having chemotherapy." "The effect this treatment had on Dylan’s body and mental health was devastating. His face swollen and puffy due to high doses of steroids, his stomach extremely swollen due to his internal organs swelling making it impossible for him to sleep and effects on his mental health which left him not wanting to see his loved ones."
Phoebe said: "Literally two weeks ago the lower back pain came back and he said he knows this pain and it felt familiar. He went back to his doctors at Nottingham City Hospital and asked them to check him over. "His family are amazing and are supporting him. He is keeping his sense of humour and is being really upbeat, but I know deep down he must be scared."
