A British woman was shocked when doctors told her that she had been incorrectly diagnosed with cancer after undergoing treatment for the malignant disease over a period of two years.
Megan Royle, 33, was referred to a dermatology review at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by her doctor in 2019, when she reported that a mole on her upper arm had increased in size and become itchy.
After taking a biopsy of the mole on her body, she was told that the nature of the lesion had been identified, which was believed at the time to be skin cancer. Rowell was 29 years old at the time, according to what was reported in the British newspaper “The Independent”.
Megan Rowell received compensation from the foundation that runs Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals, which both misinterpreted the results of her diagnosis in 2019, and the error was only discovered when another institution reviewed the patient’s records in 2021.
It is noteworthy that Megan, a theater artist, underwent nine courses of treatment and underwent surgery, which negatively affected her fertility, forcing her to undergo egg preservation surgery.
Megan stated that it took her a long time to absorb the shock when the doctors told her that she did not have cancer, pointing out that the feeling that dominated her was frustration and anger.
