Leeds woman given terminal diagnosis after doctors missed tumour on scan

A woman from Leeds has been given a terminal diagnosis after doctors missed a tumour on a routine scan.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, had been experiencing symptoms for several months before finally seeking medical attention. She was initially misdiagnosed with a less serious condition and was told to monitor her symptoms.

It wasn’t until a follow-up scan was performed that the tumour was finally discovered. By then, it had progressed to a late stage and was deemed inoperable.

The woman and her family are devastated by the news and are now exploring all treatment options available to them. They are also considering legal action against the hospital for the missed diagnosis.

This tragic case serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough and timely medical care. It highlights the need for patients to advocate for themselves and seek second opinions if they feel their concerns are not being taken seriously.
