The patient experienced pain and stiffness in her left breast. She consulted the local doctor, but to no avail. She then consulted the doctor at a maternity centre. The doctor clinically diagnosed breast cancer; thereafter performed excisional biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
About a fortnight later, the patient followed up with excruciating pain around her waist. She was referred to an orthopaedic specialist. But to no avail.
