Frank Skidmore, of Salkeld Place, Chell Heath, struggled to get medics to believe he was in pain for years before he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2007.

Mr Skidmore died at home on March 1.
A 44-year-old woman has lost her battle against a cancer she believed was caused by asbestos dust on her grandfather's work clothes. Mother-of-two Debra Stevenson, of Plymouth, was diagnosed with mesothelioma in December 2008. She died on 5 December this year. She believed she could have contracted the lung cancer from contact with her grandfather Jack Duffin, when she was a child. He died aged 86 about 10 years ago from a different disease which was related to asbestos and smoking. Her illness could also have been caused by dislodging asbestos while decorating, she had said.
