Overview
- Lauren Carey’s cancer has returned and spread to her pelvis and abdomen, and the family says both NHS and private clinicians have ruled out curative treatment.
- She had her bladder removed three years ago and a stoma fitted, which the family says they were told would stop the disease from spreading.
- Relatives report her symptoms were repeatedly labeled as UTIs or IBS, and they discovered her palliative care referral through the NHS app.
- A statement from Modality East Surrey Medical Practice said the GP team will continue to support the family and invited any concerns to be raised.
- The family has launched a GoFundMe to help fulfill her bucket list, including a Butlins trip, Port Lympne animal lodges, and a Dermot Kennedy show, with donations topping £1,000 so far.
