A mother who has never smoked and blamed her persistent cough on Covid was devastated after learning she has terminal lung cancer.
Becky Davis, 36, from Redditch, Worcestershire developed a cough at the start of 2020 but as the pandemic struck, became convinced she was suffering with Covid-19.
The single mum was blindsided in July 2020 when doctors revealed that her symptoms were down to a rare form of cancer, which chemotherapy is not effective against.
She desperately wants more time with her daughter Lexi, six, and is combining targeted therapy on the NHS with a form of specialist radiotherapy only available privately at her stage.
Becky's family have raised £16,000 to fund a course of the treatment, which she described as the 'last shot' to prolong her life.
Becky was becoming increasingly tired and losing weight, but when March 2020 lockdown hit, the mum became convinced she had Covid.
'I did so, so many tests, but they all came back negative,' she said. 'I'd be in the supermarket, during my hour a day outside, and people were glaring at me as I hacked up.'(snip)
With tight restrictions keeping people apart, she was only able to speak to her GP on the phone when she contacted the surgery in April.
'I do think the pandemic could have affected how things ended up for me', she said.
'I couldn't see anyone. No one was able to listen to my chest. I just kept having telephone appointments, being prescribed more antibiotics, then left to get on with it.

Millions will die or lead degraded lives due to this tyranny.
the Fauci book by Kennedy is an eye opener.
Dreadful. Prayers for this woman.
I was gonna make a Breaking Bad joke but nah I’ll just leave it alone.
Terribly sad.
Coincidentally, I ran into a lovely mother and her beautiful daughter who looked just like this one today in the supermarket. Waited until the little girl was several steps away to tell the mom how beautiful she was. Mom said she was glad the child hadn’t heard because she didn’t want her to think it was important.
A live mom is the most important thing in the world. Prayers for this one.
This happens all the time in the UK thanks to the NHS.
Would listening to her chest really have made a difference. I had a relative die of lung cancer. Didnt catch it until stage 4 with plenty of testing done and listening to the chest.
Prayers for the family and friends of this woman.
Doesnt matter they found it
NHS will not save her from it
I wonder how long they took to do a chest x-ray.
Isn’t socialized medicine wonderful? 🤪
Yep. Lived there years ago. It has only gotten worse.
