A grieving mother has received a handwritten apology from Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt after doctors failed to spot her son's cancer for six months. Musician Lee Wyatt was just 25 when he died of bowel cancer in 2010 after being repeatedly misdiagnosed during almost six months of visits to his GP practice. Suffering abdominal pain and struggling to eat, the DJ and music producer from Denton, Greater Manchester, was initially prescribed painkillers after being told he had pulled a muscle while playing tennis. Linda Wyatt (left) holds a picture of her son Lee (right) who died aged 25 after being repeatedly misdiagnosed. She has since received a handwritten letter from the Health Secretary to apologise
