A Mum has been given a devastating bowel cancer diagnosis after being previously told she had Crohn's disease by doctors. Alex Jamieson, 39, claims she was misdiagnosed after suffering discomfort in her abdomen for years, reports Manchester Evening News.
After several years of pain, the mother-of-two was rushed to hospital once she started experiencing severe pain. Once there, she was scheduled for an emergency operation, where surgeons discovered the real reason for her suffering.
Alex said: "It was a huge shock. They took us into a room and I assumed they were going to tell me I could go home as I’d been there a few weeks recovering.
