A BRADFORD mum-of-three diagnosed with cervical cancer after her smear test was incorrectly reported as ‘normal’ has written a book to raise awareness of the life-threatening disease. Sarah McDonald, from Allerton, was given the devastating news in May, 2016. Less than three years prior, she had undergone routine cervical screening, the result of which was reported as normal. It took until August 2019 for Sarah to be made aware of the error in the reporting of her 2013 cervical screening. Following this, Sarah instructed medical negligence experts at Irwin Mitchell to investigate her illness and whether the cancer should have been identified and treated sooner.
