A 37-year old mother of three who is gravely ill with ovarian cancer has lost her High court action over an alleged delay in diagnosis. None of the parties including the defendants, a consultant radiologist and companies providing MRI services can be named by order of the court. At issue in the case was an MRI scan the woman had in June 2016 which was reported as normal. The woman's symptoms persisted - particularly stomach bloating - and in November 2017 she had a CT scan which showed up a suspicious ovarian mass. She was later diagnosed with a likely ovarian carninoma and in December 2017 it was confirmed the woman had Stage 4 ovarian cancer.
