Consultant tells High Court chance of cure is 'extremely low' for 'unfortunate' Ruth Morrissey

A scan for Ruth Morrissey may have diagnosed a recurrence of her cancer but a chance of cure is extremely low, a leading consultant has told the High Court.

Consultant obstetrician Donal Brennan, who examined the terminally ill mother's scan of February 2018 which diagnosed a recurrence of her cancer in the pelvic wall, said the cancer for this "unfortunate woman" was in a very unusual position.
