My younger sister Ruby was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer that had spread to her stomach lining and liver. Unfortunately she was diagnosed late, after 7 months of being in extreme pain, rapidly losing weight and her symptoms being ignored by the NHS. Ruby was 27 when she was diagnosed, and wants to help spread awareness of her symptoms for others her age. Misdiagnosis and late diagnosis is becoming all too common in which young people are ignored, or told they have symptoms of something else and that nothing can be done as she was. Her GP marked her weight as 'steady' despite her telling him her concerns, and she was turned away by A&E multiple times, both saying she will likely have collitis and that nothing could be done until she had a colonoscopy - which she was on an 18 week waiting list for. It was only when she recently went to work and has to be carried out by her work colleagues, doubled and screaming in pain, that she was taken for a CT scan, and the diagnosis was then given. I'm creating this page for Ruby's medical costs for private health care. Please help support her by donating to this page. It would mean more than you could ever know, to us all.
