A mum from Newcastle who was "full of life" tragically died at the age of just 34 after her cancer was wrongly diagnosed as a swollen gland.
Leonie Largue discovered a lump in her right breast and went to her GP to get checked out where she was advised by a doctor it was a swollen lymph gland. The doctor failed to refer her to specialists and around 17 months later, Leonie was back again after finding two lumps.
She was referred urgently to the breast clinic and underwent a biopsy. Sadly two weeks later, Leonie was diagnosed with breast cancer and despite undergoing chemotherapy she died just a year after her diagnosis, on November 3, 2016.
