A “BELOVED” mum died of bowel cancer after being denied a face-to-face GP appointment, her family claims.
Sharan Kullar had contacted her doctor last year after suffering from fatigue and weight loss.
The mum-of-two tragically died just four weeks after being diagnosed
The 34-year-old wasn’t able to see the GP in person, her relatives say, only able to have phone consultations due to Covid.
The mum was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and given anti-anxiety medication.
But she still feared she had bowel cancer, going back to her doctor again, with her family claiming the fears were dismissed.
They told Birmingham Live she eventually went to A&E in December 202, where she was told she had cancer.
They said in a statement: “Her heart rate was very high and her body was losing a lot of blood.
“On December 21, Sharan was told that she had stage 4 bowel cancer which had spread to her liver and lungs.
“All alone in hospital, she spoke with consultants and palliative care nurses, her mind was fried.
“Only four days before Christmas and having been away from her children for three days, she was desperate to come home. She was discharged later that day.
The mum-of-two tragically died just four weeks after being told she had cancer.
Her loved ones now want to celebrate her life by carrying out 34 challenges to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK.
They will finish up with a 35km walk on what would have been her 35th birthday.
