- Bronte Doyne died 16 months after being told she would survive cancer
- Her mother Lorraine has released daughter’s messages before she died
- Teenager had rare cancer that only around 200 people a year get worldwide
- Miss Doyne told she’d survive after an operation to remove liver growth
- Online research said it would come back but doctors said: ‘stop Googling’
A teenage cancer victim begged doctors to take her seriously in a series of desperate messages written shortly before she died, it was revealed today.
Bronte Doyne, 19, said she was ‘fed up of trusting’ medics who refused to accept she was dying and was told to ‘stop Googling’ the rare illness that would eventually kill her. Miss Doyne died in March 2013, 16 months after she developed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FBC), a rare form of liver cancer which only affects 200 people a year worldwide. The teenager had an operation in September 2011 to remove the cancer and was told she would make a full recovery, but online research in America told her that FBC often returns.
But ‘aloof and evasive’ doctors at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) treated her with ‘woeful lack of care and empathy’ and refused to accept this and told her to ‘stop Googling’. In a text weeks before she died she said: ‘Need answers. Want to know what’s going on. Something’s not right. I’m sick of this’. And days before she died she wrote: ‘Can’t begin to tell you how it feels to have to tell an oncologist they are wrong. I had to, I’m fed up of trusting them’.
