Christopher Chaffey, of Swine Lane, in Coniston, died on September 20, 2008 after it was discovered he had an aggressive form of lymphoma.
An inquest heard the cancer was not detected despite Mr Chaffey’s 12 contacts with health experts in just over a year - mostly with GPs - and one visit to Hull Royal Infirmary’s accident and emergency department on July 19.
Following the inquest, which today recorded a narrative verdict, Mr Chaffey’s parents said they were considering taking action against GP Dr Joseph Austin as well as Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
Speaking on behalf of the family, solicitor Ian Sprakes said: “The family want to have a few weeks of reflection and they will then consider their options and consider possible civil action against the GP and the trust.”
