Re: Eve Appeal for Ovarian Cancer - please read to save your life

I am posting on this thread to keep it near the top as it is a subject close to my heart.

My mum was always concious of her weight and kept trim and fit,. When she started to put on weight for no reason, she visited her GP, who fobbed her off saying it was her age etc.

She went to the GP three times and was never sent for a scan.

After about two months, she was in work (admin in a hospital, luckily for her) when a consultant gynaecologist walked through the door, took one look at her swollen abdomen and sent her straight for a scan Youv'e guessed it..she had ovarian cancer.She was given a hysterectomy and chemo.Unfortunately she died of secondary liver cancer.

My dad (bless him ) did not want to take action against the GP who wrongly diagnosed my Mum.This particular doctor is the mum of a friend of my daughters.She has visited my home and I have been to hers...She has NO IDEA who I am and I would not tell her.What good would it do, my daughter and her son get on really well.It would break my dads heart to drag it all up, too.So I meet her and smile sweetly, thinking how much her incompatance devastated my family.My mum has 7 grandchildren, none of whom she ever met.
