'I trusted him': Ruth Morrissey breaks down as she tells court of cervical cancer recurrence

Terminally ill Ruth Morrissey broke down in tears in the High Court today as she told how she had put her trust in her consultant to monitor her after her first bout of cervical cancer was removed five years ago.

The 37-year-old mother said her consultant should have spotted the recurrence of her cancer which was diagnosed last year but he did not see it for over three years.
