A woman who claims she was told by doctors she was 'too young' to get cancer was diagnosed with womb and ovarian cancer within three months of each other.
Gemma Coleman from Bolton originally went to her GP about changes in her period and backache. The 34-year-old said her double diagnosis left her 'absolutely devastated' and urged women to 'trust your gut' and to 'not be afraid to challenge doctors' if they think something isn't right.
Gemma, an executive complaint specialist at the Co-op, first noticed a change in her periods at the beginning of 2020. She says they began getting shorter than normal – but little did she know, this was a warning sign for womb and ovarian cancer.
