Chantelle Mooney, a terminally ill cancer patient, had her crucial NHS brain surgery postponed.

The postponement was due to a global Microsoft outage that affected essential medical technology.

The surgery, intended to remove a four-centimeter brain mass, was rescheduled for the following week.

The outage caused disruptions worldwide, impacting businesses, airlines, banks, and media stations.

A total of 8.5 million devices, including those at GP surgeries, were affected.

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been contacted for comment on the situation.

Chantelle is concerned that further delays could put her life at risk.
