Woman lost husband of 38 years after hospital made a 'series of mistakes'

A woman lost her husband of 38 years after a hospital made a series of mistakes that meant he was taken off surveillance despite having a condition that is known to turn into terminal cancer.

Diane Dean, 59, met her husband Nicholas when she was 13, as he was two years older than her and a student at the same school and the pair hit it off, started dating a short while later, and were married in 1983.

They were together ever since and had two children together, and Diane was sitting by her husband's side in 2017 when she was told he had terminal cancer and had just six months left to live.
