Eva Peron
Back when Eva Peron was diagnosed with cervical cancer, it was common practice to keep the patient in the dark about the seriousness of the disease and the subsequent treatment. The former First Lady of Argentina, more commonly called Evita, was told she had a uterine problem and the doctor came in the surgery room only after she was placed under anesthesia. Peron was treated with radiation, chemotherapy and a lobotomy for the pain but her condition worsened. She passed away in 1952 at the age of 33.
