More details to this question:
After being diagnosed with Acromegaly which is an overgrowth of bones, I was ordered an MRI scan of the brain. The Radiologist failed to diagnose a pituitary tumour in the gland which led to a delay in my treatment for about 6 months. The delay did not lead to any worsening of my condition but I had to stay on medication for a longer time. The tumour was discovered by another doctor. After undergoing two surgeries I am perfectly alright now. How strong is my case for claiming damages on medical malpractice isssue

The fact that you have recovered and are now fine means you have no malpractice claim that is worth pursuing even if the failure caused delayed treatment.
