SALFORD Royal NHS Trust have admitted a man, who died weeks after being told excruciating abdominal pains were ‘all in his head’, would have lived longer had they correctly diagnosed the cancer which killed him.

Sixty-eight-year-old Richard Fry lost his battle with bowel cancer on March 18, 2003, leaving behind three grandchildren, his 27-year-old son Anthony, 47-year-old daughter Lesley Yates and wife Joyce Fry.
