A woman who is gravely ill with ovarian cancer has lost her High Court action for damages over an alleged delay in her diagnosis. At issue in the case was an MRI scan that the woman had in June 2016 which was reported as normal. The woman claimed the scan showed features of a particular form of ovarian cancer which were not reported upon due to negligence. The woman was not feeling well when she had an MRI scan of her pelvis area on June 29th, 2016. She was later diagnosed with a likely ovarian carcinoma and in December 2017 it was confirmed she had Stage 4 ovarian cancer.
