$4.5 Million For Failure To Diagnose Breast Cancer

The mammogram results were interpreted as "normal" but her lump continue to grow. She was then referred to a breast surgeon for biopsy.

Unfortunately, the surgeon failed to biopsy the actual lump, and instead got surrounding tissue which was read as "normal." He didn't realize it at the time, but he missed the lump.

After being reassured by various doctors that she only had cystic breasts and there was no cancer, she gave no further thought to the mass in her breast. Finally, the mass became so pronounced that upon further evaluation, she learned that she had stage IV breast cancer.

When her treating doctors looked back at the original tests, they realized that there was evidence of cancer which was never detected or treated. Watch the video to find out what treatment she could have received which would have saved her life.
