Alana Finlayson begged her mum to tell her story after she passed in May 2019 when her tumour diagnosis was to discovered too late.
Alana Finlayson died aged 15 after a year-long delay in diagnosing her with the same cancer which killed her dad. The teen endured excruciating pain as docs failed to recognise she had glioblastoma – a fast-growing, aggressive cancerous brain tumour.
Linda said: “She was in their care for a year and they let her down. It ripped my heart out. We were dismissed time and time again. They left a wee lassie in excruciating pain and with no treatment.” In February 2018, Alana’s school, Kings Park Secondary, called her mum to say she had pain in her hip. Linda took her to A&E but the X-rays didn’t show anything. Cancerous tumours do not show up on X-rays. On her second visit to hospital, the next day, a doctor suggested her jeans were too tight and asked her if she felt safe at home.
A shunt was put in her head to relieve the pressure but it would build up, causing extreme leg pain. The shunt was moved from one side of her head to another but pressure still built up. Brain scans showed lesions in her white and grey matter and a biopsy was inconclusive but wasn’t repeated.
