A Lanarkshire gran died of incurable cancer after fearing she would catch COVID if she went to her GP.
Jacqueline 'Jackie' Shiels' family said the 59-year-old delayed visiting the doctors for six months after developing symptoms of lung cancer because she was scared of going into a health care setting during the pandemic.
By the time lollipop lady Jackie, from Cumbernauld, sought help in October 2020 her cancer had spread to her chest, lymph nodes and liver.
