Generally fraud cannot be used to benefit the bad actor and can be used to extend the statute. Speak to local malpractice counsel.

The facts are critical in this case so you should immediately contact a local experienced medical malpractice attorney. You certainly have grounds to argue that your lawsuit remains viable. Do not let any additional time pass without action. Good luck.
