My mammogram was normal, but I felt a lump. Should I have pushed for more testing?

Yes. If you feel a lump, you should insist on diagnostic imaging (diagnostic mammogram and/or ultrasound) and possibly a biopsy, even if a screening mammogram was normal. If your doctor refuses, seek a second opinion immediately.

How do I prove the cancer was visible on an old mammogram?

Your attorney will have an independent, board-certified radiologist review your past mammograms. If the cancer was visible, this expert will testify to that fact.

My cancer is now Stage 3. Can I sue if it could have been caught at Stage 1?

Potentially, yes. If you can prove the cancer was detectable earlier, a doctor failed to diagnose it due to negligence, and the delay allowed it to progress (causing a worse prognosis and requiring harsher treatment), you likely have a viable case.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Florida?

Generally, you have 2 years from when you discovered (or should have discovered) the misdiagnosis. Don't wait — evidence must be preserved, and pre-suit investigation takes many months.
