The terrible story of a 41-year-old British mother, Natasha McGlinchey, who decided to tell her personal story to invite everyone to check themselves and ask for a second medical consultation in case of doubts.
For his GP it was a simple ball of fat in the leg, for the hospital doctors those symptoms were long covid but in reality it was a tumor rare and incurable which quickly spread to all parts of the body, forcing her to require devastating palliative care. It is the terrible story of a 41-year-old British mother, Natasha McGlinchey, who decided to tell her personal story to invite everyone to check themselves and ask for a second medical consultation in case of doubts.
The woman turned to her GP for a lump on the leg in September 2019. The doctor, however, reassured her by talking about a ball of fat without any checks or analyses. As the months passed, however, she began to experience more and more symptoms and ailments and showed up at the hospital where, however, they sent her back as a non-urgent case in a phase of stress due to Covid on the part of the healthcare facilities.
Only when the mass spread to the rest of her leg did another GP invite her to return to hospital for a possible blood clot. In the emergency room, however, the doctors told her that the lump must be a symptom of long covid and only with another visit to the GP’s office, a substitute prescribed an MRI which gave her the diagnosis of liposarcoma metastatic myxoid. Over a year had passed from the first symptoms.

“I feel an enormous sense of guilt, because if I had nipped it in the bud straight away, I would be in a much better position than I am now,” she told the Sun, adding: “I’ve let too much time pass. I’m a bit of a person who doesn’t like to push. My advice is that if you have a lump somewhere, go to your GP and have it examined. Insist, it doesn’t mean being rude to the doctor.”
