A 60-year-old woman needed surgery to remove a skin cancer on her face - after being turned away from her GP several times and given only cream to treat the lesion.
Elizabeth Williams was devastated to receive the cancer diagnosis two-and-a-half years after she first visited the doctor. And she has decided to share her story to raise awareness of the disease for World Cancer Day on Saturday, February 4.
Elizabeth, a council manager, from Dorchester, Dorset, visited her GP on multiple occasions over the years to report the lesion, which had scabbing and bleeding. In December 2017, she was given a cream to treat it.
