Court rejects woman's appeal seeking retrial of claim alleging cancer diagnosis was delayed

Woman sought damages, including €3.6m in special damages, for injuries she alleged were caused by the alleged failure to detect her breast cancer in May 2017

Woman's central claim was that a pea-sized/15mm lump assessed in May was cancer, rather than a cyst, and she should have been referred for further investigations that would have detected her cancer at that point.

A woman has lost her appeal seeking a retrial of her claim the HSE failed to promptly diagnose her cancer.

Catriona Crumlish, who recovered following invasive treatments, alleged in her appeal that the High Court ignored key evidence that established her tumour diagnosed in October 2017 had been detectable when she first attended Letterkenny University Hospital five months earlier.
