The husband of a woman who is terminally ill with cancer and who has sued over the alleged misinterpretation of her CervicalCheck smear test has told the High Court his family feel let down. The man broke down as he told he does not know what future his family has. "I am scared, I am worried about the children and will I be able to look after them," he said. The man said his wife’s cervical cancer was first diagnosed just before Christmas 2015 and they were devastated when it returned two years later and last year when they were told the cancer was inoperable. The woman, on September 17, 2010, underwent a cervical smear test as part of the national cervical screening programme.
