A woman claims medics dismissed her mum's cancer as "stress" and "fobbed her off" when she was displaying early symptoms of a brain tumour. Frankie Davies, 29, believes her mum, Sue, 54, might still be alive if she had been taken seriously early on.
Mum-of-seven Sue, 54, passed away in May 2020 - after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in January 2020. She had been showing 'tell-tale' symptoms - including nausea, severe headaches and reduced mobility - in the two years leading up to her diagnosis.
Over the next 12 months, Sue made four trips to her GP only to be sent home after being told she was suffering from stress and felt "fobbed off". Sue went to the hospital on one occasion thinking she had a stroke - but was discharged without a scan.
