The fact that millons of pounds are been spent in awareness campiagns telling people the sooner cancer is detected the better chance you have of survival is a waste of money, if the doctors that you see are not picking up on the symptoms!!!
Please let as many people you know to contact me who have had the misfortune to have been misdiagnosed.
Thanks
