Medical Negligence: Woman with Terminal Uterine Cancer Denied Treatment by Doctors.
Kelly Pendry, a 42-year-old mother from North Wales, was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine leiomyosarcoma, a rare cancer of the smooth muscles in the uterus. Despite experiencing heavy bleeding and pain during periods, doctors initially thought she had fibroids and offered her antidepressants. After further testing, she was diagnosed with cancer, but her case wasn't considered urgent, and she experienced many canceled appointments. She underwent chemotherapy, but she still struggles to find someone in the U.K. who will perform surgery to remove her primary tumor. Pendry hopes to go to the United States either to participate in a clinical trial or undergo surgery.
