GP letter of December 1950 states 'nervous symptoms are at least in some degree due to the accident. He is not aware he is suffering from cancer of the naso-pharynx and from the humanitarian point of view may I suggest you regard this as confidential' and in accompanying medical summary 'An advanced carcinoma of naso-pharynx was discovered and treated by Radium.[...] his eyes give him trouble [...] there is cranial involvement of the carcinoma. In my opinion a large part of his symptoms may be attributed to his accident'.
