In 1995, Moe was diagnosed with early-onset colon cancer.
Patients with Moe's specific variant of inherited cancer generally
develop the disease between ages 40 and 70; Moe was 42. Moe
instructed his oncologist, Allen Harper, MD, that under no
condition did he want his family to learn that he had cancer. "It's
my business," he says. "Why make them worry when this might not
affect them until they're 70 years old?" Moe's children grow up
believing that their father died of an untreated intestinal
blockage.
Twenty years after Moe's death, his eldest daughter, Maureen,
develops colon cancer at the age of 41. Her oncologist informs her
of the genetic nature of her condition, which leads her to
investigate more closely her father's medical history. In a box of
his papers, she discovers the medical records from his treatment by
Harper. These include the diagnosis of early-onset colon cancer.
Maureen immediately hires a lawyer and sues Harper, who is still in
practice, for negligence. In her state, the statute of limitations
did not start to run until she discovered her injury, so it is
still possible for her to make a claim.
