A 26-year-old beautician received a life-changing cancer diagnosis after A&E doctors had reportedly sent her home after putting her pain down to kidney stones. Jodie Cox, from Telford, went to hospital during the coronavirus pandemic after experiencing pain down one side of her back.
Doctors reportedly told her that kidney stones could be the cause and she was sent home with an acid reflux diagnosis. The salon manager returned when the pain became excruciating but again claims she was sent home.
Then in January 2021, Jodie and boyfriend Luke Watson made a third trip to the hospital after she struggled to stand steadily. Recalling the terrifying ordeal Luke, 28, told BlackCountryLive : “One night she started to lose feeling in her legs so I took her to A&E, she was stumbling into the hospital and I had to support her.
