A Scottish woman who was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome has told how she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer after begging for a scan.
Stacey Cochrane, says that she visited A&E twice and had several meetings with her GP after suffering from extreme abdominal pain over a span of two months during the summer.
It was not until she visited Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy on September 21 and she anxiously pleaded with medical professionals to give her a scan, that she was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
