Woman tells court of anger as she battles cancer

The mother-of-two, and aged in her 40s, is suing the Health Service Executive and three laboratories over the alleged misreading and misreporting of a smear test taken in September 2010.

One of her children had been diagnosed with a developmental disorder and she needed a lot of attention that she felt had already been missed out on.She became emotional in the witness box as she said this time things had changed and were so much worse. She had another battle ahead and did not know whether she would win or lose.

She told the court she was trying to hide the fact that she was "in serious trouble" and said she could not deal with telling such young children that she might not be around. Asked about her hopes for the future, the woman said she hoped they would cure the cancer, but she did not think that would happen. "I'm too young to die," she said.

The woman said she was confused that her case had not been part of the HSE review process. She felt lost in the system, and felt that she was not important and had no significance.
