Delayed diagnosis of Breast Cancer

My client presented to her Primary Care Physician repeatedly with the same complaint of a lump in her breast; there was no referral to a specialist and no follow-up examination.  She was told it was nothing to worry about and was prescribed Ibuprofen.  After consulting with a Columbia University expert, it appeared the resulting delay in detecting the tumor resulted in a progression from stage 2 to stage 3C.

Outcome

Seven-figure settlement
