A blood cancer patient who had holes in her spine was initially misdiagnosed due to 'being a busy mum'.
Mum-of-three Donna Hicks, 49, went to her GP complaining of constant fatigue and back pain when her youngest child was aged one. She was eventually diagnosed with myeloma - an incurable form of blood cancer - aged 41, in September 2014.
Donna, from Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, had two sons aged nine and seven as well as her toddler daughter, and had just lost her mum when she was diagnosed. She had to give up her job as a social work manager, a decision she found devastating.
