Mum with cancer 'badly let down by doctors' and now has weeks to live

The husband of a mum-of-two who has has just weeks to live says she was 'badly let down' by doctors who sent her home twice and dismissed her symptoms. Sarah Middleton, 48, was diagnosed with an advanced form of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in May 2022.

But just two months before, in March, she had twice visited the A&E department at Royal Derby Hospital after suffering from sudden and sharp chest pains, as reported by Derbyshire Live. Despite this, the mum claims she was told that nothing was wrong.

Her husband, Marius Grigoriu, said: "The fact that now, barring some kind of miracle, we're almost certainly going to lose Sarah, is horrendous. She probably wouldn't be in the position she is in now and on end-of-life care if they'd have investigated it two months earlier. It's horrific. Sarah was badly let down."
