A mother’s relentless efforts to seek medical attention for her daughter, Megan Kelly, resulted in a heartbreakingly late diagnosis of cancer. Jane, Megan’s mother, noticed a drastic change in her daughter’s health as she battled with numerous illnesses including viruses, glandular fever, and urinary tract infections. Despite repeatedly expressing concerns to healthcare professionals, Megan was consistently misdiagnosed, eventually resulting in a late-stage diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
Tragically, Megan passed away at the age of 19, just 18 months after her diagnosis. Her positive outlook and resilience throughout her battle with cancer were remarkable, with her determination and bravery inspiring those around her.
Megan’s family and friends are now devoted to raising awareness about Ewing sarcoma and funding research to better understand and treat this devastating disease. Jane emphasized the need for improved diagnosis and treatments for childhood cancers, advocating for greater support for young cancer patients and their families.
