How Much Compensation Is My Leukaemia Misdiagnosis Worth?

When you claim for compensation following any kind of leukaemia misdiagnosis, you aren’t just claiming for their negligence. You can also make compensation claims for a range of associated concerns, including:

Lost Wages and Loss of Potential Wages.
Personal Pain and Suffering.
Psychological Damage.
Fear of Death.
Long-Term Symptoms Relating to Leukaemia Progression.

Overall, the compensation that you receive will depend on the impact this leukaemia misdiagnosis has had on your life. The more severe the impact, the more compensation you will be entitled to. Unfortunately, these misdiagnoses are common in the UK. GPs do not routinely recommend their patients for leukaemia blood count tests. It’s no wonder that so many patients discover their condition in the emergency room, rather than in a doctor’s office.

What is Leukaemia?

Leukaemia is a form of blood cancer. This is a malignant and progressive disease which can affect bone marrow and blood-forming organs. This normally involves the over-production of slowly-developing stem cells. These cells can develop into:

Myeloid Stem Cells.
Lymphoid Stem Cells.

What are Myeloid Stem Cells?

Myeloid stem cells are blood cells which develop into:

Red Blood Cells – These cells carry oxygen throughout the body.
Platelets – Platelets form clots to prevent bleeding.
White Blood Cells (Granulocytes) – These cells are designed to fight infections and diseases.

Do We Know What Causes Leukaemia?

Unfortunately, there is no obvious cause of leukaemia. This kind of blood cancer is neither contagious, nor is it passed from parent to child. As the causes are unknown, it is difficult for medical practitioners to diagnose.

What are the Symptoms of Leukaemia?

One of the main reasons that leukaemia is misdiagnosed is that it doesn’t have obvious symptoms. Some of the potential symptoms include:

Swollen Lymph Nodes.
Enlarged Liver and Spleen.
Fevers.
Weakness and Tiredness.
Bleeding and Bruising.
Frequent Infections.
Palpitations and Light-Headedness.
Malaise.

How is Leukaemia Normally Diagnosed?

Leukaemia can only be diagnosed through laboratory tests. A simple blood count will often be able to detect leukaemia. However, the healthcare professional needs to suspect leukaemia to request the right tests. Chest X-rays can also be used to detect certain symptoms.
