Grandmother in remission from cervical cancer sues over alleged misreporting of smear

The woman after her 2016 diagnosis of invasive cancer had to have a lymphadenectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy and it is claimed she continues to suffer various side-effects from her treatment.

A woman who is in remission from cervical cancer but who has claimed the cancer treatment has had a damaging effect on her life has launched a High Court action over the alleged misreporting of her smear slide.

It is claimed the alleged delay in the diagnosis resulted in her developing invasive cervical cancer requiring more extensive treatment. It is further claimed had the woman’s smear sample taken in 2010 been correctly reported she could have been treated with one procedure.
