Low grade ovarian cancer.

I had a biopsy, and was in agony after, so much so, they gave me morphine and kept me in overnight. I am very sure that in the process of the biopsy, the doctor burst the cyst. This was 18 months ago, and I have to live with an uncertain future, as I have to be monitored every three months for the rest of my, hopefully long life. When I told the oncologist  that I was told that this maybe a possibility, he shrugged it off. Is there anyway I can find out about their negligence, as I was told for three years I didnt have cancer, when in fact I did, and a rare subtype.

    I am so sorry this has happened to you - being told for three years that you didn't have cancer and later on discovering that you had a rare subtype. It might be worth looking into contacting PALS (the Patient Advice and Liaison Service). You can find out more about this on this page. 

    I hope this helps and that you will also hear from other members here who have been in a similar situation and hopefully they will have some good tips for you to help you get to the bottom of what happened.
