The husband of a terminally ill woman who has sued over the alleged misinterpretation of her CervicalCheck smear test has told how their lives have been turned upside down since her cancer diagnosis. I will never forget that phonecall,’ he told a High Court judge of the cancer diagnosis a few days before Christmas 2015. When they got the news last year that the cancer was inoperable, her husband said "it was like being hit by a bus." Earlier the legal team representing the mother of two yesterday opposed mediation talks while it said the HSE denies primary liability in the case. The woman on September 17, 2010 underwent a cervical smear test as part of the national cervical screening programme.
