A devastated mum discovered that she had terminal cancer while giving birth after medics dismissed her concerns as 'anxiety'.
Lois Walker, 37, was tragically told that she had stage four cancer when her son Ray was born via Caesarean section back in 2021.
Surgeons found cancer in her ovaries, the lining of her abdomen and lymph nodes during the birth, The Mirror reports.Prior to her son's birth, the mum-of-three had been experiencing stomach pain for over a year and made several calls to her GP during the Covid-19 lockdown.She made a number of visits to A&E, only to be given medication for anxiety and told to avoid dairy products.After having six rounds of chemotherapy and two operations, sadly doctors now say there is no way to stop the cancer.Lois said: "It's been absolutely diabolical.
