Olivia Williams shares ongoing cancer battle after misdiagnosis

crown actor Olivia Williams It was revealed that after the rare tumor was repeatedly misdiagnosed, she would never be “cancer-free”.
“If someone diagnosed my diagnosis in four years is good, I keep saying I’m sick when they tell me I’m old or have Irritable bowel syndrome or [was] Crazy – I use the word because a doctor referred me a psychiatric assessment – and then a surgery could clear the whole thing, I could describe myself as cancer-free, and I will never be right now,” Williams, 56, told London Times In an interview released on Saturday, April 19.
Williams recalls in her new interview that she has endured countless physical symptoms – from soreness to chronic diarrhea, after visiting doctors from three countries within four years. Her doctor initially suspected the autoimmune disease lupus or she was an apron, but both were excluded after a lot of tests.
Finally, British rheumatologists discovered that Williams had cancerous vipoma tumors in the pancreas after testing the hormone produced by vipoma. She has since received four treatments for targeted internal radiation therapy, after which she had to live in “complete isolation” for two weeks to avoid exposing others to radiation.

Williams also had multiple surgeries to remove the tumor from the pancreas, but due to the late discovery, it metastasized to her liver. She now takes medication and undergoes regular scans.
“I went in like a puppy [to the doctor] She said with this optimistic, bright face, they gave me bad news and it was like, Oh my God, I fell in love with it again. They have discovered new transfers, either before Christmas or during the summer holidays. Then, for three consecutive years, they began to appear too close to the main blood vessels to Zap. So for a while we just sat and watched them grow, and it was a horrible feeling. ”
Williams reflects on the significance of the doctor's advance determination of her vipoma tumor and how her misdiagnosis convinced her to advocate “early detection” of others.
“It requires a normal person with cancer vipoma tumor 11 access to GP. For me, that could be about 21 times.”
Williams insists that she is not “seeking sympathy” but is speaking out in hopes of making “cheap, early tests” more accessible.
