Jess Evans, 22, from Birmingham, (left) died in February after being diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer last April. She visited doctors nine times in two months, repeatedly complaining of stomach pain, abnormal bleeding, bloating and feeling tired. But coming shortly after she gave birth to her son Riley, doctors told Miss Evans (pictured with her mother Marie, right) her body was merely getting back to normal after pregnancy. They told her due to her age, there was 'no cause for alarm', refusing a smear test because the national age for screening is 25. Her death has prompted her mother Marie Evans to campaign for the Government to lower the smear test age from 25 to 16. Mrs Evans said: 'I'm not blaming anyone else for the fact she got cancer. But she was fobbed off time and time again. Jess has gone but I don't want any other mothers like me to have to go through this.'

A team of doctors has devised an online symptom checker, called Isabel, to help the general public understand what their symptoms may indicate. The online symptom checker tool, now being hosted by the website patient.co.uk, has taken 14 years and 150,000 man-hours to develop and uses specialised software linked to a medical database.

Health professional Hollie McEwen (pictured), from Doncaster, was found hanged after she became depressed and tormented by a severe skin condition. At an inquest into her death it was heard she had suffered from psoriasis as a baby and it had disappeared, before returning later in her life due to stress. This led to depression and anxiety attacks and the 'beautiful, vibrant young woman' felt she couldn't deal with the condition, her father said.

Ari Wibowo sheds his skin like a snake every two days and must constantly smear his body with moisturiser to stop it hardening and seizing up. The Indonesian teenager has a rare skin condition that doctors in Indonesia have been unable or unwilling to treat and which has left him with an extraordinary appearance. He suffers from Erythroderma, an inflammatory skin disease also known as 'red man syndrome', that causes the skin over almost the entire body to become scaly and flake off.

Christine Gayther dialled 999 when her husband (pictured together) suffered an aneurysm but was then forced to call the NHS's non-emergency service to answer scripted questions while husband Terry (pictured right at hospital) was left in agony and 'foaming at the mouth'. The couple, from Bromley Cross, Greater Manchester, have now spoken out about the shocking service they received when Mr Gayther crippled over in pain with the potentially life-threatening condition.

Clare Morgan, 34, from Liverpool, was called 'Big Bird' and bullied for years about her nose (left). She decided to undergo a nose job at age 25 (top middle), but when she saw the results she wasn't happy. Two corrective operations left her nose too weak for more surgery, but she still wasn't happy with how her nose looked - and even wanted to cancel her wedding (bottom middle). Luckily, she found a non surgical treatment using dermal fillers and achieved the look she wanted. This meant she could walk down the aisle with pride on her wedding day (right).

Lauren Sutcliffe, 23, from Sunderland, has suffered interstitial cystitis since she was 11 years old leaving her plagued by painful kidney and bladder problems. She is one of 400,000 people in the UK who suffer the condition, which causes excruciating pain, urgency, a need to pass water frequently and a burning sensation when passing urine. Miss Sutcliffe endures regular flare ups, leaving her housebound. She said her social life has been affected and her relationship has suffered, because she can't bear to have sex for fear of the pain. She said: 'It feels like there are paper cuts and acid inside me and the pain is unbearable. During a flare leaving the house isn't even an option. I've even found it extremely hard to hold a job down as employers are not often sympathetic with my illness.'

Rita Nugent, 31, was left disfigured after a £2,200 nose job by Olufemi Adeogba. Dr Adeogba, who worked at a clinic in Merseyside, was struck off the medical register in December 2013. A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel deemed him unfit to practise after hearing one patient was left with a dented breast and nipples that were too high. Another patient's nipple turned black after Dr Adeogba failed to warn of the dangers of smoking following surgery. But after Dr Adeogba went to the High Court to have the decision overturned, judges ruled he can practise again without restrictions, pending further legal action. The High Court has called for the General Medical Council to reinvestigate the allegations against the surgeon. But the GMC are going to the Court of Appeal to have their original decision reinstated. GMC chief executive Niall Dickson said: 'Doctor Adeogba faced very serious charges which the MPTS panel found proved. We believe the panel's decision to stop him from practising medicine was the right one and was necessary to protect patients.'

Tom Warren, 10, from London, died as a result of a fatal overdose of fentanyl, an opiate drug 80 to 100 times more powerful than morphine, which had been prescribed by a locum, Lewis Charles Ingram, 48 hours before. Just a year before Tom's death, another child under Dr Ingram's care had died. Ten-year-old Ayesha Wyatt had suffered multiple strokes after a developing a blockage in the shunt - a thin drainage tube - that had been inserted in her brain to relieve pressure when she was six weeks old.

Stephen raised nearly £5million for charity before he died after a four year battle with bowel cancer and was awarded the MBE for his efforts. But yesterday Jane Sutton, 50, told of how doctors insisted that the 19-year-old was suffering from constipation – despite concerns raised by the family that the condition was far more serious. At the time, Stephen, aged 15, was suffering from pain, weight loss and fatigue – three of symptoms of bowel cancer.

Irving Caplan, of Stanmore, Middlesex, was paralysed in a cycling accident two years ago and feared he may have to address his daughter's wedding guests from a wheelchair. However, thanks to the latest robotics technology, the 55-year-old walked across the dance floor of a wedding venue last month and delivered his speech standing up. He said: 'The guests were gobsmacked when I walked out. It was the usual speech, thanking everyone for coming and hoping everybody had a good evening, but I certainly surprised them all with my entrance.' Daughter Joanne Beaumont said it was a very emotional moment.

Lucia Cassidy, 34, from Edmonton in North London was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal heart condition which caused her 29 cardiac arrests. Doctors had to revive her using defibrillators each time, which send electricity shocks into the heart to get it beating again. Mrs Cassidy then had an implantable cardioverter defribrillator (ICD) fitted which is similar to a pacemaker. During her recovery, entering into fitness competitions helped her focus. She now hopes to win Miss Galaxy Universe, which celebrates female athletic ability.
