United KingdomChloe Houghton, a 32-year-old mother of two from Northamptonshire, was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 Small Cell lung cancer after her initial symptoms were dismissed by her GP as unrelated to her health. She first noticed a lump on her chest in 2025, which grew over time and caused pain when lifting her child. Her GP initially described the lump as a harmless cyst or cartilage and did not recommend immediate action. After multiple visits and tests that returned normal results, Chloe pushed for the lump’s removal in August 2025 but faced delays. By February 2026, her weight had dropped significantly, prompting further testing. A CT scan revealed abnormalities in her lungs, leading to a biopsy that confirmed stage 4 lung cancer. The cancer had already spread, and Chloe now faces a terminal prognosis.
