Bowel Cancer
Failure to diagnose or properly treat bowel cancer can have life changing effects for you and your family. Our experienced bowel cancer lawyers can help you make a compensation claim and get answers about what went wrong.
Delayed or missed bowel cancer, can have devastating effects and lead to removal of part of or all of your bowel (colectomy) stoma formation (colostomy or ileostomy), chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Sadly, it can also cause the death of a loved one.
Early diagnosis can prevent the cancer spreading and causing these devastating outcomes. Symptoms of bowel cancer that all doctors should be aware of are if you pass blood or there is blood in your stools, a change in bowel habit, a lump, a feeling of needing to strain, weight loss and pain in your tummy or back passage.
You may be able to claim compensation if there was a:
- Failure by your GP to recognise bowel cancer signs and symptoms;
- Failure by the hospital to perform the correct tests;
- Failure by the hospital to diagnose and treat despite sign, symptoms and test results;
- Failure by the hospital to properly report scans or test results;
- Failure by the hospital to provide correct treatment
