Cancer-stricken grandmother is 'sent home with paracetamol' after tumour doubled in size 'while waiting three months for NHS treatment'

Marie Stibbe, a 79-year-old grandmother from Devon, was diagnosed with liver cancer in March and has since seen her tumor double in size while she waited three months for NHS treatment. Despite her worsening condition, she was only provided with paracetamol to manage her symptoms. This case highlights the distressing consequences of delays in cancer treatment within the UK's healthcare system, raising questions about the effectiveness and prioritization of patient care. It underscores the urgent need for improved and timely access to healthcare services for those in critical conditions.
