Tributes to 'courageous' Edinburgh woman who dies following cancer misdiagnosis

Tributes have been paid to a 'courageous' young Edinburgh woman who has sadly lost her life to cancer.

Laura Gilmore Anderson was found to have an incurable form of cancer in her pancreas after she was misdiagnosed by doctors as having stomach pains.

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, reports the Daily Record.
