Jayne Gibson says she was 'terrified' after getting migraines and sight loss as early symptoms
A Co Tyrone woman has opened up on her journey of living with leukaemia as charity groups encourage people to keep an eye out for the main symptoms of the disease.
The charity Leukaemia UK says early diagnosis is highly important in saving lives, with a recent public survey finding that over one-fifth of respondents from the Northern Ireland could not recognise any amongst the four most widely reported symptoms of the disease - fatigue, bruising, unusual bleeding and repeated infections.
“I heard back from the hospital quite quickly and had my first appointment, which I have to say does take a long time – I was there for over four hours. After this I had to wait six weeks until my next appointment and results. “My husband and I came away from that appointment in a trance. We drove somewhere for lunch, but I don’t remember much about it. We talked and I made a few decisions about who and how I was going to tell people.
Jayne added the pandemic made life living with the illness a lot more difficult, and says she remains vulnerable despite getting her Covid-19 jabs.

The effect of COVID-19 on public confidence in the World Health Organization: a natural experiment among 40 countries - Globalization and HealthBackground At a time when a highly contagious pandemic and global political and economic turmoil are intertwined, worldwide cooperation under the leadership of an international organization has become increasingly important. This study aimed to estimate the effect of COVID-19 on public confidence in the World Health Organization (WHO), which will serve as a reference for other international organizations regarding the maintenance of their credibility in crisis management and ability to play a greater role in global health governance. Methods We obtained individual data from the World Values Survey (WVS). A total of 44,775 participants aged 16 and older from 40 countries in six WHO regions were included in this study. The COVID-19 pandemic was used as a natural experiment. We obtained difference-in-differences (DID) estimates of the pandemic’s effects by exploiting temporal variation in the timing of COVID-19 exposure across participants interviewed from 2017 to 2020 together with the geographical variation in COVID-19 severity at the country level. Public confidence in the WHO was self-reported by the respondents. Results Among the participants, 28,087 (62.73%) reported having confidence in the WHO. The DID estimates showed that the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly decrease the likelihood of people reporting confidence in the WHO after controlling for multiple covariates (adjusted OR 0.54, 95% CI: 0.49–0.61), especially during the global outbreak (0.35, 0.24–0.50). The effect was found in both younger individuals (0.58, 0.51–0.66) and older adults (0.49, 0.38–0.63) and in both males (0.47, 0.40–0.55) and females (0.62, 0.53–0.72), with a vulnerability in males (adjusted P for interaction = 0.008). Conclusion Our findings are relevant regarding the impact of COVID-19 on people’s beliefs about social institutions of global standing, highlighting the need for the WHO and other international organizations to shoulder the responsibility of global development for the
