Her family feel let down
The husband of a mum-of-two who has has just weeks to live says she was 'badly let down' by doctors who sent her home twice and dismissed her symptoms. .
Blood samples and other tests revealed her pain could have been the result of one of two things, a malignancy or a pulmonary embolism . She was sent home with blood thinners and told to return two days later for a scan. In the meantime, the chest pains eased. Over the next two months, her stomach continued to bloat until, her husband describes, she appeared "pregnant". Mrs Middleton went to her GP who told her to self-refer for a CT scan at Royal Derby Hospital. She did and booked in for the next week.
When she finally went in, Mrs Middleton spent four months as an in-patient, away from her family, until the course finished in September. But just weeks later, she was told it hadn't worked and that the prognosis was poor. After the salvage chemotherapy, Sarah was left with the only option being CAR-T-cell therapy on the NHS, a complex and specialist treatment where changes are made to your T-cells and they are then returned to your body in the hope they will then recognise and attack the cancer cells.
In severe pain and unable to eat, Sarah's consultant advised that they could try an unapproved drug called Glofitamab in a final attempt to save her life. The family prayed for a positive response, and while initially, her reaction was promising, they were given the news just days ago that it had not worked.
