Cancer victim's dying wish: ‘Give our daughter Ali the life she deserves’

A man whose wife died in April 2017 after a cancer misdiagnosis has recalled her last days and outlined how difficult he found being told she was wrongly given the all-clear from a smear test.

Paul Dingivan yesterday said be briefly considered taking his own life when he was told his wife Julie was going to die.

An audit of the CervicalCheck screening programme found 208 women who would later be diagnosed with cervical cancer were originally given an incorrect all-clear result following a smear test.
