Jodie speaks out
Earlier this year, Jodie took to social media to reveal that her mum had been sent home from hospital because of the coronavirus pandemic.
She responded to tweet by charity Balls To Cancer, who urged those suffering from cancer to still seek help from the NHS.
Opening up on her mum’s experience, Jodie said: “My mum was basically turfed out of hospital and told ‘come back in 8 weeks’ even though she has the most aggressive growing cancer her consultant had ever seen.”
She went on: “Thrown out of hospital because of Covid. No treatment. She’s dying at home. No word from hospital.”
