Jordanna Saye, 27, was sent home from her doctors with paracetamol and told there was nothing to worry about
A young woman whose GP sent her home with paracetamol after she complained of ovarian cancer symptoms has been left devastated after she was later diagnosed with the illness and left infertile.
But despite results returning with high test markers last year, a GP told Jordanna she was "too young for cancer" and sent her home with paracetamol for the pain that was "likely connected to her endometriosis". "I was going to the doctors with symptoms every month and I was given paracetamol. I ended up going to hospital because the pain was so severe. I was really going downhill."
Medics initially believed she would only need surgery on her left ovary and Jordanna booked in for a course of IVF so she could have a baby with her partner Chris. On December 13, Jordanna had a full hysterectomy and was left devastated as her dreams of having children were crushed. She will now begin chemotherapy to treat Stage 3 low grade ovarian cancer."Then I was told the cancer had spread. I will never be able to have a family - that has changed my life. I'm only 27 and knowing I'll never have a baby is hard.
She added: "I'm now having chemotherapy and can't ever have a family because GPs didn't listen. Don't let a doctor tell you your symptoms are nothing.
