"A popular 34-year-old man died suddenly after he put off visiting a doctor to check a persistent cough. Stefan 'Stef' Allan, a skilled painter and decorator, may not have known he was ill with cancer before his death, his friend Jane Back said.
"Jane said Stef's death on June 11, has left a "mass of devastation" among his friends and family.
"When Stef, who lived in Carmarthen, was found dead at home, no one knew he had been seriously ill, said Jane. The 58-year-old added: 'He'd had a bit of a cough which was a constant for some time. The thing about Stef was he would put off going to the doctor if he felt okay to go to work.'"
"Jane was told by the coroner's office that Stef had a disseminated tumour, meaning cancer cells were found in multiple parts of his body."
