Katie’s story

When you don't know what's wrong with you or even if anything is wrong with you, it's one of the worst feelings. This was what happened in Katie’s case when she found a lump and went to see her GP. Her first and second tests came back inconclusive. It took three tests before Katie found out she had cancer. With the help of the Daisy Scanner all of that wasted time can now be minimised, so a treatment plan can begin much faster.

After months of waiting, it was really hard to take for me and my family. My biggest fear was the cancer coming back, but now knowing I'll be tested at the best scanning centre in the country is reassuring and for anyone who's going through what I've been through it should be a huge comfort.
