Fiancé diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease just six weeks before he died
A couple with plans to marry were robbed of their future together after the fiancé was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease just six weeks before he died. Christine Ridout and Stuart Lewis had been trying to get to the bottom of his recent breathing difficulties but were told by doctors his 'unknown' condition was 'not the end of the world' and put it down to anxiety.
Christine from Cardiff revealed Stuart had visited his GP in mid-February with concerns regarding breathing difficulties. The 39-year-old said: "They told him he had anxiety at first, but Stuart said he knew it wasn't anxiety. Christine said: "[The consultant] was really abrupt to Stuart. She said he didn't have lung cancer, and that she didn't know why he had been sent to her.
Stuart's concerned mother rang the department up after the couple received no further news and Stuart eventually received his fatal diagnosis a whole month after he saw the first consultant. Christine said the doctors were 'very concerned' about the scan results.
