A Perth man has confirmed the family is looking at legal action – after his father died after receiving treatment for a cancer diagnosis he didn’t have.

Frank Wattam was told he had bladder cancer in late 2018 – he underwent chemotherapy and later had surgery to remove the bladder.

His son Wayne has told Gareth Parker on Mornings – they’re now considering legal action.
