Meadhbh Cameron, a 24-year-old paramedic, died from a rare form of lung cancer despite never smoking. She was diagnosed with stage 4 combined small cell lung cancer, an extremely aggressive and rare form of cancer, not typically seen in a young, non-smoker in good health. Meadhbh received three rounds of chemotherapy but was hospitalised each time with neutropenia, a condition which results in a low number of white blood cells, neutrophils, in blood.
