A California woman with cancer was asked to go out of an Alaska Airlines flight from Hawaii to California as she didn't have a note from her doctor. Airline employees told her that she could only fly after showing a note from a doctor.

Elizabeth Sedway of Granite Hill, California, is suffering from multiple myeloma. The missed flight means that she wouldn't be able to attend several chemotherapy treatments. She missed the flight from Lihue, Hawaii to San Jose on Monday.

She wrote on her Facebook page that she had to receive chemo sessions, but because of the missed flight she will miss them and she is not alone to suffer from this, but her children too, who will miss school. Her husband will also miss important meetings, she added.

"I am so heart-broken and disappointed. They won't allow me to fly, until I can get MY doctor, who is not here, to state, in writing, that I am 'cleared to fly", she said.

Airline employees removed her along with her husband and two sons after realizing that she was not carrying a note from her doctor.

She was noticed by an airline employee while sitting in the handicap section of the boarding area. She was later said that she could not fly without a note from a doctor to prove that she was cleared to fly.

Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Halley Knigge told CBS San Francisco on Tuesday that apologies have been offered to the family for the inconvenience and the troubles the family had to go through because of the way the situation was handled at the airport.
