Peritonitis Lawsuit question

My mom died of an undiagnosed peritonitis leakage in her liver. She was also going through pancrease cancer whom doctors basically did not tell us was terminal, until two days before her death. My question is shouldn't the doctors have seen this while my mother was going through ct scans, blood tests, x rays and physicals? She's been going through cancer since november and always mentioned pain just below and around her rib cage, but was thouht to be indigestion among others. There was an ultrasound done two days before she died and no one could read the results they told the family two days later. The doctors said nothing could be done, that she would die so we wanted to make mom as comfortable as possible like she said if there was no hope weeks prior. Mom was unresponsive for three days until death. I hate lawsuits but can't help but wonder is there a case here? Thank you.

The fact is, there is not a test in existence that is 100% accurate for anything. Things are missed all the time, everything is flawed. Furthermore, as for them not telling you it was terminal, it quite possibly wasn't terminal and they were doing the best they could to fight it as much as possible until a certain point where it became terminal and there was just nothing else they could do. I can't say whether you have a case or not, but if I were you, I would accept things for how they are, and move on with my life. I know times are tough, and the situation is tough, but sometimes you need to just bite the bullet and move on. I'm sorry for your loss, but that's what it is, a loss, and now instead of trying to waste everyone's time in court, you should spend your time trying to find a way to keep her memory alive.
