Being your own advocate should start long before ever contacting an attorney regarding a medical malpractice claim. When it comes to your health, you must be proactive, especially when you are awaiting test results. Even if your doctor does not contact you with test results, no news is not always good news.
A Delayed Diagnosis Of Colon Cancer Can Have Serious Consequences
Unfortunately, colon cancer can be misdiagnosed if the risks and symptoms are ignored. This is why it is important to stress that patients who have received a misdiagnosis regarding colon cancer or a late cancer diagnosis should consult an attorney immediately.
Delays in diagnosing colon cancer can have devastating results. Any type of cancer that goes undiagnosed limits your options for treatment. Misdiagnosis can shorten your life expectancy. The goal of being cancer-free presents more challenges.
