 A mum-of-two who was diagnosed with terminal cancer after doctors dismissed her symptoms as side-effects of the Covid vaccine has died. Katie Pritchard, 37, passed away surrounded by her family following 17 months after being diagnosed with cervical cancer. She raised £200,000 through crowdfunding for private treatment after being told that was her only hope, before the drugs company pulled out one day before her treatment was due to start. The NHS nurse manager was twice misdiagnosed after finding a lump, but was told there was 'nothing to worry about' and her symptoms may have been down to the Pfizer vaccine. She was also told she may have had a prolapsed bladder from having children. Katie was left insulted by another suggestion it was an STI, despite being with the same partner for 17 years. Katie Pritchard ties the knot with her sweetheart Tom Cronin at Stratford Upon Avon Registry Office, with their children Percy and Cass who acted as ring bearers(Credits: Joseph Walshe / SWNS) She was diagnosed in January 2022 but was forced to wait an agonising three months for treatment to begin – by which point the cancer had spread. Katie began five weeks of gruelling radiotherapy, chemotherapy and brachytherapy in April 2022 and was initially told the treatment was a success. But in December 2022, after undergoing further scans, she received the heartbreaking news that her cancer had returned and was given months to live. Despite the devastating blow, Katie was determined to keep positive and on the day of her terminal diagnosis boyfriend Tom Cronin, 35, popped the question. In February, the couple said their vows in front of immediate family members during an emotional ceremony at Stratford-upon-Avon Registry Office. New husband Tom has now told of his devastation and 'indescribable pain' after revealing Katie passed away surrounded by he){kind=link}
