Desperate father turns to Google to diagnose himself with cancer after doctors mistook his symptoms for a YEAR

Doctors suspected asthma, bronchitis and even sleep apnoea when Kevin Everett, an engineer from Hull, visited them with breathing difficulties and problems with his sinuses. 


After his condition worsened, the 60-year-old took to the search engine to search for symptoms of his illness. To his amazement, the engineer discovered he had nasopharyngeal cancer - which starts behind the nose before meeting the throat - after looking on the NHS Choices website.
