Megan Royle won compensation from the the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, after both misinterpreted her results.
A woman was left in 'complete shock' after living with cancer for two years only to learn she had been wrongly diagnosed. Megan Royle was misdiagnosed with skin cancer in 2019. The theatrical make-up artist from East Yorkshire underwent nine cycles of treatment, endured surgery and froze her eggs before the error in the diagnosis was discovered.
The 33-year-old took her case to Hudgell Solicitors, which specialises in medical negligence, and won an out of court settlement with the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the pathology service used by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. 'Frustration and anger' Ms Royle said she felt 'complete shock' after the news was revealed and confessed she hadn't 'been in a good place for some time' afterwards.
