A young woman was "badly let down" as urgent calls for change have been made.
The ECHO previously reported that Lois Walker, 37, suffered with stomach pain for over a year, but it wasn't until her son Ray was born by Caesarean section in 2021 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The mum-of-three first became unwell in June 2020 when she experienced strange bathroom habits and swelling around her diaphragm.
But despite numerous calls and visits to her GP and A&E, she was labelled a "hypochondriac" and given anxiety medication. But after falling pregnant in December 2020, she was in excruciating pain 14 weeks later following her gender reveal scan.
