Too Young To Get Cancer

Emma Swain was too young to be offered a screening test when she died of cervical cancer.

For months she had reported tell-tale symptoms of the survivable cancer to her GP but she was told she was worrying unnecessarily.

In this episode her father, Darren, walks presenter Kate Gerbeau through the heart-breaking failures that took his daughter’s life.

We also hear from cancer nurse Lara Perkins at CLIC Sargent, Tracie Miles from Eve Appeal and Maria Repanos, clinical negligence lawyer at Slater and Gordon.
