A 12-year-old girl, Faye Condon, is reported to have been wrongly given six rounds of chemotherapy following a misdiagnosis by the NHS. According to accounts from multiple outlets, she was diagnosed when she was five with a rare autoimmune condition. Based on that diagnosis, she then received six rounds of chemotherapy, which are described as gruelling. Years later, the NHS allegedly identifies that the diagnosis was incorrect. The reports state that the initial autoimmune label was mistaken and that the chemotherapy was therefore unnecessary. The coverage focuses on the impact of the treatment and the fact that the error was only discovered about seven years after the original diagnosis. Both sources describe the same core timeline: diagnosis at age five, chemotherapy consisting of six rounds, and subsequent correction of the diagnosis years later. The reports do not indicate further details about the correct condition or the exact diagnostic findings, but they consistently frame the story around the misdiagnosis and resulting chemotherapy.
