Tragic Scots woman misdiagnosed with sore stomach loses brave battle with cancer

A woman who was misdiagnosed by doctors as having stomach pains has lost her three-year battle with cancer.

Laura Gilmore Anderson was found to have an incurable form of cancer in her pancreas. The 36-year-old was given just months to live in 2020 when she was diagnosed with rare cancer Neuroendocrine. She finally received the diagnosis after her symptoms had been passed off as irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance and then endometriosis.

She sadly passed away on April 8, at 11.11am, just two days after her birthday. The former IT graduate, who was originally from Longford in Ireland, was fundraising in February along with her husband, Paul. They were trying to raise the cash to go to Mexico to undergo an immunotherapy treatment offered by the William's Cancer Institute.
