Megan was told she had been wrongly diagnosed with cancer after undergoing almost two years of treatment and egg preservation.
A resident of Yorkshire, United Kingdom, received compensation after being wrongly diagnosed with cancer and undergoing two years of unnecessary treatment.
In 2019, Megan Royle, a 33-year-old from East Yorkshire, received a diagnosis of skin cancer. As a part of her treatment, she underwent immunotherapy and took measures to preserve her eggs because of the potential impact on her fertility. She is currently in a state of utter disbelief upon discovering that she was incorrectly diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery, despite never actually having the condition.
According to The BBC, she was given the all-clear in 2021; a review showed she never had cancer, and she has now won compensation from the two NHS trusts involved.
