SCANDAL/ The woman was operated on and treated for cancer for two years before

A woman who was diagnosed with cancer and underwent nearly two years of medical treatment was left shocked when doctors told her they had misdiagnosed her, in a high-profile case of medical malpractice in Britain.

Megan Royle, 33, was told she had skin cancer in 2019 and subsequently underwent nine rounds of treatment, surgery and an egg-freezing procedure.

But two years later the devastating mistake was discovered when she changed hospitals and her medical records were reviewed.

 


She has already received compensation from the state-owned groups the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and the university hospital Imperial College Healthcare which manages the Chelsea & Westminster hospital services in central London, who had misrepresented the test results that led to the wrong diagnosis.

Megan, a make-up artist from Beverley, in the north of England, says that she still cannot understand what happened to her: "No one believes that something like this can happen to you, to this day I still have no explanation as to how and why it happened to me this happened".

"I spent two years believing I had cancer, after doing all the treatments I was told I didn't have cancer."

"You might think that now I should feel relieved, in a way I was, but the strongest emotion is disappointment and anger."

"When I was first told that I had cancer and that I needed an operation that would affect my fertility, I agreed immediately"

"At that time I didn't think about having children, but I would like to later, so I froze my eggs as they advised me and I didn't hesitate."

"When they told me after two years that I had not had cancer, I was not myself for a long time."

Megan says that in 2019 when she was 29, she went to the doctor about a mole on her arm that was growing in size, and after a biopsy, she was told that she had melanoma - a type of skin cancer.

She was referred to a specialist at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where after reviewing the biopsy they again told her it was melanoma.

Megan was consequently forced to undergo immunotherapy, freeze her eggs, and a relatively minor operation to remove the "cancer".

After discovering that her entire diagnosis was wrong, she sued the doctors for malpractice and won against two medical groups.

Her lawyer Matthew Gascoyne said: "It is a serious and unusual case where Megan was misdiagnosed with skin cancer, which had a serious physical and psychological effect on her, given her young age."

"The psychological consequences worsened when she was given the news that she didn't have cancer at all. "If she hadn't changed her address and therefore the hospital, she would still be believing that the 'cancer' would return," he said.

The two health groups that admitted guilt have not contacted the media.
