Editor's note: This article was originally published on June 22, 2022. It has since been updated. A woman diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer that had spread to her ovaries and her liver, was given three months to live in January 2020. Instead, she is celebrating, having received a new lease on life. Long before Caroline Guy was given an official cancer diagnosis, the 56-year-old knew something was wrong. "I felt sluggish, I just didn't feel right. My stomach was swollen," she told Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. However, in June 2019, a doctor in Spain dismissed her symptoms as menopause. "I'd googled my symptoms and I actually asked him outright if I had bowel cancer and he said no," Guy revealed.

Many organizations have employee-friendly leave policies and by harnessing their rights, workers can benefit monetarily even while they're on leave. A UK-based IT worker managed to secure over 15 years of paid sick leave but that wasn't enough for him. In February 2022, Ian Clifford—who had not reported to work for over a decade—sued his employer, IBM, for not offering a pay rise during his sick leave, reports The Telegraph. Despite the organization's generous agreement to put him on a disability plan, the terminally ill worker wasn't satisfied and demanded justice from the Employment Tribunal.

A nurse was diagnosed with a brain tumor which made her think people were speaking a different language – and she blames it on taking HRT.

Lucy Woodhouse, 43, says she experienced severe headaches which felt like hangovers and struggled to read aloud.

But then in a meeting with colleagues she found herself unable to understand what they were saying, and tests revealed she had a golf ball-sized tumor.



She says she believes the meningioma tumor is linked to the Depo-Provera contraceptive injection, rounds of IVF she had and HRT medication – all of which contain the hormone progesterone.
