My daughter was diagnosed with extremely dangerous triple negative breast cancer 2 years ago . The consultant refused my daughters request to have her breast off saying you just need a lumpectomy. Despite my fears and pleas for her to get it removed she took consultants word. I myself had triple 3 breast cancer 18 years ago and still lead a healthy life I had a total mastectomy and reconstruction as the then consultant at same hospital was excellent and knew her patient s rights . After lumpectomy it became clear within weeks that cancer had rapidly spread through full breast so at last they decided to remove it but operation was delayed for 5 weeks because said consultant was on holiday .owing to delay in op Lorna my daughter had most of skin taken from her thigh to replace excessive amount taken from her breast right up to her neck . My daughter died 19 weeks ago in considerable discomfort as after the first bungled op cancer spread to her other breast, she had by this time changed to a lovely consultant but it was too late and despite our complaint original consultant called my daughter and her husband liars and said she d never asked for breast off.I just want all woman unlucky enough to contract this disease. It's your body and you have legal right to say what you want as I don t want any other family to go through what we had to
