Longford woman Lynsey Bennett says she is feeling well despite being told one year ago this week that she had less than 12 months to live.

Ms Bennett, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in January of 2017 and settled her High Court action over the alleged misinterpretation of her cervical smear slides in February, says her doctors are “gobsmacked” at her good health.
