Representing Families Who Have Suffered From a Delayed Cancer Diagnosis

Our law firm also handles cases involving the families of those whose lives have been cut short due to a delayed cancer diagnosis.
 
When you are dealing with a disease like cancer, a delayed cancer diagnosis can mean the difference between full recovery or terminal illness. By the time there are physical symptoms of cancer, a person is going to have an uphill battle to climb. The earlier the cancer is detected, the better off he or she will be.

There are many ways that doctors can make mistakes:

•  A patient's cancer should have been found while the doctor was treating another ailment.
• An early physical check-up may have missed the diagnosis of cancer.
• The doctor may not have treated the patient as an individual with unique symptoms, and thus ignored the signs and symptoms of cancer.
• Follow up after suspicion of or detection of cancer may have been poor; perhaps the doctor did not send the patient onto a specialist for further testing.
• Sometimes the doctor simply has failed to properly communicate a patient's health problems.
