Man, 29, who went to doctors with bruising on his arm told he'd have been dead in three weeks
A man who spotted sudden heavy bruising on his arm was told he would have died within three weeks after he was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer.
Rhys and 25-year-old Mollie - who have been together for five years - have been forced to cancel their dream US wedding in July as a result as he starts treatment. Lucy said: "Immediately, the doctors said he needed to ring 999 and they thought it could be meningitis. When he got to the hospital, they measured the level of platelets in his blood.
Rhys was diagnosed at Grimsby's Diana Princess of Wales hospital and then transferred to Castle Hill Hospital in East Yorkshire, where he will undergo treatment. "It was just horrible to hear and it doesn't feel real still to be honest," said Lucy. In a bid to give the couple something to look forward to, Lucy and other friends have decided to carry out a charity walk to help raise enough money to get the couple married in England.
