What the petition asks

Hello my name is Diane Virden. On 6th July 2015 my husband Simon Virden died of Cancer. He was only 42 yrs old. We had no warning signs. From diagnosis to his passing it was less than 2 weeks. We couldn't prepare for anything and explaining to our son his father was going to die didn't seem real.

26 May 2015 my husband caught a cold which then turned into tonsillitis. The doctors gave him antibiotics this then turned into a tummy ache, the doctor prescribed antacids. 1st June my husband went to hospital as he really wasn't well. They said he had Gaul stones. They sent him for Xray. They kept him in. Two weeks past & test after test was done. On the 16th June 2015 they told us he has a tumour in his liver. Terminal Cancer nothing they could do. In less than 2wks my husband passed away.
