Nottingham mum was 'sent home with a virus' - but it turned out to be terminal cancer
A mum-of-five claims she was repeatedly sent home with a viral infection - only to finally be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Claire Francis battled breast cancer following a mastectomy in 2021, ringing the end of treatment bell in July 2022.
Claire underwent several tests, each one leading to no answers. Days later she was given the all clear and told her cancer had not returned, and that she was a mystery. "They tried to tell me it was stress. I went to neurology for a second opinion, and I was told I have three brain tumours and lung cancer". She now remains in City Hospital where she is being treated for a chest and lung infection, and fluid around her heart.
"I think the whole world should know, her children are amazing," says Sasha. "I have left the hospital ward in tears and they support me.
