Man Loses Nose After Doctors 'Dismiss' Cancer Diagnosis
- William Brogan, a 47-year-old man from Hamilton, Scotland, was diagnosed with facial lymphoma in January 2025 after over a year of nose pain and breathing difficulties.
- He consistently expressed concerns to doctors about issues with his nose, but was initially treated with antibiotics and faced lengthy delays before receiving further evaluations and a biopsy.
- After a second biopsy confirmed aggressive lymphoma spread from his nose into his mouth, William underwent a gruelling 20-hour surgery that removed his nose, upper gum, and checked his neck for cancer.
- After completing six weeks of radiotherapy on 18 June 2025, William expressed deep gratitude to the surgical team for their life-saving efforts and is now preparing to undergo facial reconstruction using skin grafts.
- William remains hopeful radiotherapy controlled the disease but believes earlier diagnosis could have prevented severe damage and plans to focus on rebuilding his face with planned grafts.
