'I'm angry at being left in wilderness': GP who died of cancer criticises her colleagues for failing to diagnose her in blog post published AFTER she died

Writing posthumously in the British Medical Journal online Dr Lisa Steen (pictured) described how she 'spent two years wandering in the wilderness of the medically unexplained' before she was finally diagnosed with kidney cancer with multiple bone metastases in July 2014. The mother-of-two, who lived in Cambridge, worked as GP Lead for drug and alcohol service Inclusion. She had been suffering a myriad of symptoms since August 2012 but despite repeatedly going to the doctor it was initially put down to 'health anxiety'. Her cancer was finally discovered two years later but it was too late, as by that point it had spread to her bones.
