Receiving vital, life-saving cancer treatment too late really can mean the difference between life and death, and it can be devastating when patients aren\u2019t provided with care quickly enough.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re incredibly alarmed to hear the recent news that the NHS is seeing some of the worst figures on record when it comes to treatment times for cancer. Recent figures indicate that a quarter of patients aren\u2019t receiving treatment in accordance with the targets set by the NHS. \u00a0A lot of this may well be down to the increased pressure of more people coming forward for checks, and a lack of funding for cancer care across the board isn\u2019t helping as well.<\/p>\n

As a patient who has cancer treatment too late, what can you do, and what are your rights?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Legal advice for patients receiving cancer treatment too late<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Receiving cancer treatment too late can be a matter of life and death in the worst-case scenario. If you\u2019re luckier, it can still be the difference between further suffering and potentially long-term complications. Even then, the problems that a patient can face can be horrendous.<\/p>\n

So, where do you stand if this happens to you?<\/p>\n

You may be eligible to make a claim for medical negligence compensation<\/strong> <\/a>if you\u2019ve received cancer treatment too late. It all comes down to whether receiving the treatment too late could have, and should have, been prevented. In some cases, cancer can be far too advanced before you even have a diagnosis, so we need to assess the background of your individual circumstances.<\/p>\n

You may be eligible for No Win, No Fee help <\/strong><\/a>with a legal case for compensation.<\/p>\n

What to do<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can speak to our lawyers for free, no-obligation advice if you\u2019ve suffered problems or complications as a result of receiving cancer treatment too late<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know that you don\u2019t have to suffer in silence if you are wronged by negligence, and it\u2019s important to know what you can do about it. You may be able to claim damages for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused, as well as for losses and expenses incurred as well.<\/p>\n

Can you afford to be off work when it\u2019s complications from late treatment as opposed to cancer care itself that\u2019s stopping you from working? Can you afford to live with any lifelong issues that may arise from late treatment?<\/p>\n

Those are the key things we look at when it comes to a claim for medical negligence compensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
