Woman told she ‘needed to lose weight’ before doctors found melon-sized tumour in ovaries

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A woman with a melon sized tumour in her ovaries is undergoing life-saving chemotherapy after being told by doctors she just needed ‘to lose weight’.

Veterinary nurse Hannah Catton is undergoing life-saving chemotherapy in Australia without her family, as they cannot make the 10,000 mile trip because of covid travel restrictions.

Hannah, moved to Melbourne in 2019 to work at a veterinary practice before becoming increasingly concerned about her health.

The 24-year-old visited a doctor after suffering from stomach bloating and repeated urinary infections, but was told it was probably stress related and that she should slim down.
