A person who makes serious efforts to take care of himself and seeks routine health maintenance from his medical provider should not then discover he has an advanced cancer. Serious delays in the diagnosis of a cancer could be more than bad luck; it could be the result of negligent medical care or a medical error.
If something bad has happened to you, make every effort to continue seeking and following good medical advice. Your priority should be getting better, not in developing your own case. Do not behave in an off-putting manner, so that your medical caregivers no longer want to provide care for you. Help them want to help you through your health-seeking actions and demeanor.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, the focus of your energies should be on getting the best medical attention available. Let us do the investigation to determine whether a medical error or bad care caused your late diagnosis, and whether there might be a legal remedy for the negligent care.
Meanwhile maintain good notes, recording dates of appointments and treatments, and descriptions of what happened at each. Do not throw out any paperwork or statements that relate to your medical care, even if they do not seem useful to you. Save the receipts, instructions, calendars, notes you took, all in one place, in a bag or box.
If you think you have suffered an injury from a medical error (even it is one that is not listed on this website), contact an attorney, like Mark Bower, whose main area of practice is in medical malpractice. And make sure you make contact with an attorney as soon as you have serious suspicions that you have suffered malpractice. He will become your advocate, and allow you to refocus on taking care of your health.
