A Essex woman warned the British not to allow doctors to ‘discard’ their health concerns, after doctors missed the mortal pancreatic cancer of their mother who finally killed her in just a few months.
Otherwise, healthy Nibbs, a seven -year -old grandmother, was surprised when the tests performed in 2009 revealed that her blood sugar was unstable.
Ultimately, this led doctors to diagnose the 55 -year -old player with type 1 diabetes; When blood sugar levels are too high because the body cannot do insulin hormone.
Revelation shocked the family as the vast majority of those diagnosed with the disease are children, adolescents or young adults.
Mrs. Nibbs, an optical technique, had always seemed healthy, according to her daughter Lucy, a three -year -old mother of 42.
His mother maintained a healthy weight and was an avid walker.
Within 18 months after the diagnosis of diabetes, EM Nibbs began to suffer other unusual symptoms.
He lost several stones and complained of an agonizing back pain, which doctors blamed diabetes.
Gill Nibbs Managed could meet a last grandson, Lottie, only five days before his death from pancreatic cancer.
Lucy said The sun: ‘He had lost about two stones at this point and had been seeing doctors, who attributed everything to his diabetes.
“Its persistent weight loss and its frequent visits to the bathroom were brushed as symptoms of their poorly controlled diabetes.”
However, when his back pain became “unbearable,” the family decided to push doctors to get more answers.
“I had an intuition that something was terribly bad,” Lucy said, adding: “If we had recognized it before, Mom can still be here.”
Pancreatic cancer can cause changes in intestinal habits, since the organ does not produce enzymes used to digest fat.
It can also trigger back pain as the growth tumor presses against the nerves.
Tragically, Gill received the devastating diagnosis that cancer was in the posterior and uncompromising stages in March 2011.
“The doctors reiterated that it was too far and had spread to their liver and possibly to their brain,” Lucy said.

Gill enjoyed a healthy lifestyle, refraining from smoking and drinking a healthy weight and an avid walker, so his family was surprised when he was diagnosed with diabetes that was later discovered that it was pancreatic cancer.

Although chemotherapy was offered to extend his life, he chose to spend, since it was unlikely that the treatment would improve the prognosis in more than a couple of months.
Mrs. Nibbs was admitted in Hospice Care later that year, where she managed to achieve an impressive number of objectives.
He had a blessing with his partner John for which he wore a wedding dress, four months after his diagnosis.
Gill also remained enough to meet a last grandson, Lottie.
Lucy recalled: ‘I went directly to Hospice to show my mother. She was very weak but managed to touch and kiss Lottie. Mom had clinging enough time to see her new granddaughter.
Only five days later, Gill, who had turned 57 only weeks before, died surrounded by his beloved family.
“I sang somewhere on the rainbow when he died peacefully and without pain,” Lucy said.

“Despite pain and sadness, I find comfort to know that it is at peace.”
The family wants to help others experience a similar tragedy and wants everyone to be aware of the potential symptoms of the murderous disease.
Potential symptoms of pancreatic cancer include jaundice, where the targets of the eyes and skin become yellow, along with the skin with itching, as well as the darkest urine and the most pale stool.
Other possible signs include loss of appetite, unwanted weight loss, constipation or swelling.
While it is unlikely that many of these symptoms are caused by cancer, it is important that a GP be reviewed early in the case, especially if patients have experienced them for more than four weeks.
Charity pancreatic cancer data suggests that only one in five patients with the disease is diagnosed in the early and most treatable stages.
Surprisingly, half of the patients are diagnosed in A&E after seeking emergency help for symptoms.
Almost 11,000 cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed in Britain every year, with 9,500 deaths, equivalent to a British who dies of the disease every hour.
Only a small fraction of patients survive the disease for a long time, 95 percent of the diagnosis die within the decade.
