February was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and highlights the shocking statistic that our country loses one courageous woman to ovarian cancer every eight hours. Our team at the Law Office of Conrad Curry are well aware of the difficulties that can be faced by women in having symptoms of ovarian cancer recognised and investigated.
A recent 7 News story highlighted the experience of one young woman from Melbourne who endured years of recurrent urinary tract infections, belly bloating and irregular, painful periods before finally being diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer.
We proudly support any initiative that brings increased awareness of ovarian cancer and the push for funding for research into this insidious disease.
We are always concerned to hear of prolonged delays in diagnosis of cancer as this can allow progression of the disease, a change in treatment needs and a change in prognosis. Our team has successfully secured compensation for clients who have experienced these altered outcomes due to a delay in diagnosis of cancer, and for their families. If you have been impacted by a delay in diagnosis of cancer, contact our dedicated medical negligence team for an obligation free initial consultation.
