Types of chemotherapy negligence claim:
- A failure in diagnosis which leads to patients receiving chemotherapy unnecessarily
- Where a patient is given the wrong chemotherapy drug, or where there is a failure in discussing the risks associated with a particular chemotherapy drug, leading to complications
- A failure in the administration of chemotherapy treatment, or a failure in diagnosing or treating an injury in relation to chemotherapy, e.g., an extravasation injury

What is the impact of chemotherapy negligence?
When it comes to cancer, receiving timely and effective treatment is crucial, and if mistakes have been made during treatment, this can have a significant effect on the outcome of your condition.
For example, if chemotherapy is given unnecessarily, this could delay the correct treatment, causing significant pain and suffering. We helped one man who received three unnecessary chemotherapy treatments.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
