Ruth Morrissey determined not to be defeated by cancer after 'relief' of landmark case win

"You have to have that positive mind frame because, if you don't, you'll give up and you're going to let it win, and by God, I'm not going to let it win."

Ruth Morrissey has spoken of the relief she felt in the wake of a landmark High Court case over her CervicalCheck smear tests.

The 37-year-old, who is terminally ill, was awarded €2.1m after she won her case against the HSE and two US laboratories in relation to the testing of her cervical smear slides in 2009 and 2012.
