Cancer patient says ‘it’s terrifying’ as doctors walk out during heatwave and cyber attack fallout

A cancer survivor has spoken about her concerns over the junior doctors’ strike, stating it is “terrifying” for her health. Donia Youssef’s last check-up was cancelled due to previous strike action, and she fears she may have to once again go private for care with her future in the balance. The NHS is expecting major disruption from the five-day strike, which is set to coincide with a heatwave alert and service disruptions from a recent cyber attack.
