Dealing with litigation of a misdiagnosis of 17 mos. at 38yo

Hi there,

I am nearing the court date for my breast cancer litigation for my delayed breast cancer diagnosis, and I feel a bit stressed out over it. I don't really know what to expect with court preparation, and I haven't heard from my lawyer lately. However, my court date is quickly approaching and is Jan. 16th 2006.

With the trail arriving so soon, I emotionally feel a wreck having to face my misdiagnosis again of 17 months and the resulting damages. I thought my doctors would have settled by now. However, they have outrageoullsy denied wrong doing and have ignored settlement offers. Of course, they are guilty of error, and I am furious that they have not ony put me through a misdiagnosis with a worse prognosis but through the headache of having to drag them to court.

Oh well, I shoudln't be complaining-at least I am alive. I just wish these bone head docs would be accountable for their mistakes and settle.

Any comments on how to deal with the nervous and angry emotions of an approaching trail, and how to prepare for a successful trail itself from those who have been there? Thanks for the help in advance

Thanks,
Robin
