Woman with terminal cancer sues over alleged misinterpretation of smear slide

A woman who is terminally ill with cancer and who has sued over the alleged misinterpretation of her smear slide yesterday told the High Court she never thought for one second she had cervical cancer because she had no signs or symptoms.

The mother of two who was told just a few days before Christmas 2015 she had cervical cancer said she was crying when she was putting her children's presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve 2015.
