Young Woman Misdiagnosed with 'Hormonal' Issue Discovers Stage 4 Cancer Spread to Brain
Lea Hughes, 38, was dismissed by doctors for three years before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer that had spread to her brain. Her story highlights the importance of not overlooking symptoms based on age. She is now undergoing treatment and fundraising for targeted cancer drugs.
A young cancer patient, Lea Hughes, aged 38, was initially dismissed by doctors for three years due to her age when she first spotted a lump on her right breast at 29. Despite being told she had 'lumpy breasts', it was later discovered to be stage four cancer that had spread to her liver, bones, and eventually her brain. She has undergone treatments including chemotherapy, mastectomy, and radiotherapy, and is currently fundraising for a targeted cancer drug not widely available on the NHS.
