More details to this question:
I have been diagnosed with stage 4 prostrae cancer. I am 73with no prior revord of prostrate issues. My family doctor was requiring me to visit him every 3 months for blood work and a discussion of the results. I received a PSA count up to 2018 with the results being 3.8 on the last known check. I never received another PSA until I was diagnosed in 2021 when it was 16.1. I know I should have asked but I would have thought he was the physician and should have been providing me with the PSA count. Should the doctor have informed me on each of my visits to the office?

Dear Rodney,
I am sorry to hear about this and hope your condition improves. That being said, the answer to your question can only be obtained through medical expert review of your medical records to determine whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing you serious and permanent injuries. A Personal Injury/ Medical Malpractice Attorney can assist you in exploring these issues by interviewing you in depth and reviewing your medical records prior to potentially sending them out for review by the appropriate medical experts. We all give free consultations; however, you will have to reach out, as we are unable to solicit on this forum. Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short given the complexity involved in such cases.
