A DAD needing urgent treatment for a deadly brain tumour is still waiting for treatment six months later.
NHS worker Graham Scott, 45, has been told he may have to wait until November before he even sees a specialist.
Now wife Jackie, 45, has written to Scottish Health Secretary Michael Matheson begging for him to step in.
While waiting for treatment Graham has suffered agonising headaches, blurred vision and seizures which his family fear is because the tumour is growing.
Graham has a meningioma, a non-cancerous tumour, that will keep growing and could be life-threatening.
Jackie said: "The last time I called the QEUH [Queen Elizabeth University Hospital] Graham was 20th on the list but now he is 26th. How urgent do you have to be to be seen?
"He is in agony and struggling but no one seems to care. This morning he was in tears saying, 'I have had enough' and last week he was talking about harming himself because he is in so much pain."
When Jackie emailed Michael Matheson about Graham's case the Health Secretary's office apologised for the delay to his treatment, blaming Covid and "the impact of winter pressures".
