Tenerife holiday nightmare of cancer patient stranded in holiday island hospital

A holidaymaker has been stranded in a Spanish hospital after she was taken ill - forcing her to miss vital cancer treatment at home. Kelly and partner Andrew Timms, along with her parents Trevor and Leslie Haughton, travelled to Tenerife for a break before her latest round of cancer treatment.

However, what should have been a dream getaway with tour operator TUI has turned into a “nightmare” because of doubts about repatriation details. Kelly is relying on an air ambulance - organised by insurer May Day Assistance - for a flight home but she is still waiting for information, reports the Mirror.

It has already been cancelled twice on August 12 and 15 and Kelly remains in hospital. Insurer May Day told Kelly and her family it was awaiting a bed at Manchester Royal Infirmary, before she could head home.
