The 16-year old girl from South Ayrshire [Scotland] who received repeated overdoses of radiation has died. Lisa Norris had been suffering from a braintumor, and was treated with radiotherapy. Some time after the treatment, the doctors could tell her that the tumour had shrunk, but also that she had received an overdose of radiation - 17 times in succession.
Lisa had been an inspiration for many. The cause of her death, which occurred on Wednesday (October 18th) is not known. More here

Yes, tho we're not in our medical infancy regarding some cancers, when radiation is part of the cure, ppl are brought to the very edge of death, and some are lost. But this sounds like pure negligence. Unintended harm - somehow doesn't bring much comfort. CATHY

Heartbrreaking for her and the family. She was so young and had a full life ahead of her. Saddened to hear this.

That is such a tragic story, I heard the news this evening that Lisa had lost her fight for life. Who knows the outcome if the overdose hadn`t have happened,this was a dreadful waste of a young girl`s life.
