A mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer was initially sent home by an A&E doctor with antibiotics and being told her CT scan was "clear". Victoria Powers, 34, was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2017 and was celebrating being rid of the disease for over five years.
But she received the heart breaking news that she was diagnosed with lung cancer late last year after visiting A&E on New Year's Eve with a cough that would not subside but was told she was "clear" and sent home with just some antibiotics, reports BirminghamLive.
A few days after, a scheduled check-in with her breast surgeon, however, showed shadows across her lungs and liver. Further scans showed her cancer had returned and was now in her lungs, liver, lymph nodes and bones. The disease is said to be incurable.
