A Belfast woman has teamed up with a cancer charity to raise awareness of symptoms in memory of her late mother.
"Endless GP visits and blood tests yielded no answers, and time after time, she was told her blood tests were normal, and that it was nothing sinister. Fast forward to December 2019, and by this stage, my mum had lost so much weight she could barely eat and was in constant pain when an appointment came through for urology.
"I insisted that I attend her next GP appointment with her, and it was then that the GP actually said the words that haunt me to this day: “Don't worry, it's definitely not cancer.” I begged him to refer her for an emergency appointment." "She was admitted and told two days later that she had pancreatic cancer and that it had spread to her liver. There was no hope, no treatment, and no cure. My mum battled hard, but her poor body was so weak and sadly, she passed away 11 weeks later."
