Paisley dad diagnosed with cancer after 'nightmare' holiday
After spending almost £3000 on tests, the family discovered that Warren had several tumours on his prostate and both of his lungs.
The couple had to stay in Mexico for an additional 10 days after the discovery as their airline required a fit-to-fly certificate.

They were eventually able to fly home, with two doctors onboard helping the family.
Warren was taken to hospital upon returning to the UK, where he was treated for sepsis.
He was later diagnosed with stage four advanced prostate cancer which has spread to his lungs and surrounding nodules.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by Dominika with over £8100 being raised at the time of writing.
A post on the page read: 'We are currently awaiting chemotherapy.
'Every day for us isn't easy but we want to spend it as a family as long as we can.
"I have decided to do this fundraiser to raise money for my fiancée to get the care he requires whilst on chemotherapy and then being at home and requiring further treatment.
"These funds will go to help my fiancée battle cancer, having a private medical nurse at home so I can take care of my one-year-old son and make sure that my fiancée is in safe hands."

Wife screamed five horrendous words as husband sucked into MRI machine
Adrienne Jones-McAllister looked on in horror as her beloved husband Keith was pulled into the machine by his necklace. Tragically, he later died from his serious injuries A grieving widow recalled the moment she watched in horror as her husband was sucked into an MRI machine in New York. Keith McAllister, 61, was critically injured when he was pulled into the machine by his necklace at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, Long Island, in July. He died from his injuries, Nassau County police confirmed. His wife Adrienne Jones-McAllister spoke about the devastating incident, revealing she had undergone an an MRI on her knee and needed help getting up, so she asked if her husband could be sent in to help her. It comes after a man claims 'I died for seven minutes in hospital - here's exactly what I saw on the other side'. When undergoing an MRI scan, patients and all other people in the room are asked to remove all jewellery and piercings because the machine generates strong magnetic fields. However, Ms Jones-McAllister said her husband was allowed her husband to enter the room even though he was wearing a 20-pound weight-training chain. Sharing her horrifying account of the incident, she told News 12 Long Island that she saw her husband walk toward the table and the machine "snatch him" immediately. When he got close to her, she said, "at that instant, the machine switched him around, pulled him in and he hit the MRI." As tears ran down her face, she recalled: "I said: 'Could you turn off the machine, call 911, do something." Revealing the five words she screamed were, 'Turn this damn thing off!', she added: "He went limp in my arms, and this is still pulsating in my brain." The heartbroken woman said the technician helped her try to pull her husband off the machine but it was impossible. "He waved goodbye to me and then his whole body went limp," she told the TV outlet. Her husband suffered several heart attacks after being freed from the machine and later died. Ms Jones-McAllister claimed it wasn't the first time she and her husband had been at Nassau Open MRI, and said he had worn his chain there before. "That was not the first time that guy has seen that chain," she said. "They had a conversation about it before." In the wake of Mr McAllister's death, his daughter Samantha Bodden shared further details about the tragedy. In the GoFundMe page set up to support the family with burial costs, she wrote: "While my mother was laying on the table, the technician left the room to get her husband to help her off the table. He forgot to inform him to take the chain he was wearing from around his neck off when the magnet sucked him in. "My mother and the tech tried for several minutes to release him before the police were called. He was attached to the machine for almost an hour before they could release the chain from the machine." She then clarified: "Several news stations are saying he wasn't authorized to be in the room when in fact he was because the technician went and brought him into the room." Paying tribute to her dad, Samantha added: "Keith was a husband, a father, a stepfather, a grandfather, a brother, and an uncle. He was a friend to many. He was on a fixed income from social security and didn't have much. So at this time, my mother is asking for help with expenses to help bury him." MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering warns that the magnetic field generated by an MRI is strong enough to pull ferromagnetic objects with deadly force. "Very powerful forces are exerted on objects made of iron, some steels, and other magnetic materials," it says, noting the field can be "strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room". MRI-related accidents are rare but can prove fatal when they do occur and this is not the first such incident in New York. In 2001, six-year-old Michael Colombini was killed at the Westchester Medical Centre when an oxygen tank was pulled into an MRI chamber by the machine's 10-ton electromagnet.

British woman trapped in US due to insurance after 'life-changing' fall
A British woman who suffered 'life-changing' injuries during a hiking fall in the US has now fallen victim to insurance and is trapped abroad as a result. Charlotte Hollins Anderton, from Abergele, north Wales, plummeted 30ft while celebrating Independence Day with children from the summer camp she works in. The 23-year-old endured an eight-hour wait to be rescued – with a fractured spine, two shattered feet and internal bleeding. She required numerous operations, intensive care treatment and on top of it, emotional trauma from the incident, which took place on July 4. If her suffering was not enough, her family now say her insurance coverage has been turned down. This means Charlotte now faces a bill of £45,000 to bring her back home to the UK. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist in repatriating her and so far, more than £16,000 have been raised. A statement on the website reads: 'Our beautiful Charlotte was tragically involved in a life changing accident whilst working as a camp leader this summer.' 'She has suffered a life threatening fall on July 4 and has been hospitalised since. 'Her fall resulted in spinal and foot fractures requiring multiple surgeries, internal bleeding and admission to the intensive care unit. 'She is also dealing with intense emotional trauma from the fall, and it breaks our hearts that we can't be there to help. 'But on top of all of the unimaginable pain and suffering, while we have been deciding what to do as a family, we were just hit with another worry that her insurance company will not be covering the cost of repatriation from America to back home. 'She urgently needs to come home for her to access specialist care via the NHS and continue her recovery with family by her side.' The family explained that they never thought they would find themselves in such a situation, but all they want 'is to have Charlotte home'. More Trending The statement added: 'We will be keeping everyone updated every step of the way, and thank you all so much already for your kind words, promises of donations and support. 'It means more to us than you could imagine. Thank you so much.' Charlotte – a University of York St John graduate from a Professional Policing course – spent last summer at YMCA Camp Seymour in Gig Harbor, Washington. She had returned as a camp leader for a second year in a row when the fall took place. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.

Charlotte, from Abergele, North Wales, had spent last summer working at the same YMCA Camp Seymour in Gig Harbor before returning this year as a leader. It comes as a string of tragic accidents have seen young British tourists lose their lives abroad in recent weeks. Just last month, a 25-year-old holidaymaker died in hospital after falling from a supermarket car park in Ibiza. The man plunged from the Mercadona in San Antonio on the evening of July 14. Despite being rushed to intensive care at a private hospital on the island, he sadly passed away the following day. Days earlier, Kieran Thomas, also 25, from Bangor in north Wales, died after falling from a hotel balcony in Malta in the early hours of July 11. Emergency services were called to Triq Spinola at around 4.15am and found Thomas unresponsive outside the building. His dad, Alan Hughes, told the BBC the family had been deeply touched by the outpouring of support. He said Kieran, who had a twin brother, was working as a software engineer and had 'a promising career ahead of him.' 6 Charlotte had spent last summer working at the same YMCA Camp Seymour in Gig Harbor Credit: WNS 6 The York graduate suffered a fractured spine, two shattered feet and internal bleeding Credit: WNS
