A British woman named Lois Walker, aged 37, is living a sad reality as she goes from great joy to tragedy after In her last delivery, the doctors who treated her discovered something extremely devastating.
It turns out that a few years ago, Lois suffered from skin cancer, which after many treatments she managed to overcome; however, a little over a year ago she began to suffer from severe stomach pains. The doctors who examined her told her that her discomfort was the product of anxiety and even told her that she was a hypochondriac.
The discomfort in her stomach continued and other doctors from the same hospital who examined her told her that he suffered from irritable bowel syndrome and that he had to assume that it was a natural process of aging. But Lois always suspected that it could be cancer, since she had suffered from skin cancer and believed that it could return, but she trusted the doctors.
A few months later, Lois became pregnant for the third time and as the pregnancy progressed, the pain in her stomach became more unbearable, to the point that she could not walk or eat. In fact, at 9 months pregnant, she weighed the same as before she became pregnant, which seemed strange to her; however, this signal was ignored by the doctors.
At the time of giving birth, the woman had to undergo a cesarean section and at the time of opening it, the doctor had a terrible surprise when discover that it was invaded by tumors in the ovaries, in the liver and in the intestines. The doctor began to cry as he told her that he had let her down.
The news was given to her just before her baby, named Ray, was given to her to hold for the first time.
The biopsy revealed that sadly, Lois suffers from terminal cancer and that there is nothing that can be done for her.
“It was absolutely diabolical. They call themselves health professionals and are supposed to provide us with care, but this is negligence. I feel like it could have been caught earlier so I wouldn’t have this late diagnosis, and I’ll be leaving three children behind,” she said according to the Daily Mail.
“It’s been very, very difficult. I didn’t want to get attached to him, but he is my ray of sunshine. My children are my purpose. I want to focus on creating memories. If love could save me, I would never die”, he sentenced.
