An inmate in Mississippi alleges in a lawsuit that prison doctors did not reveal her terminal breast cancer diagnosis until it was too late.

Susie Balfour, 62, was an inmate at the Mississippi Department of Corrections in 2011 when she began to complain of pain in her breasts and developed breast cancer. Days before she was released about a decade later, after serving 33 1/2 years for manslaughter in the death of a police officer, prison officials told her she had Stage 2 breast cancer, the lawsuit said. She later learned from a specialist outside the prison that she had terminal Stage 4 cancer. Her cancer has metastasized and is present in her lymph nodes and bones.
