I'm sending lots of hugs and prayers to you and your friend. I understand that this is a very tough time and tough circumstances but the dr. friend should face some kind of discipline. I'm very sorry if I am out of line.
One of my good friends has a daughter in law, young and healthy who was diagnosed with kidney cancer only because she went in for another pain which was probably her gall bladder. She had surgery and now is OK thank goodness and I wish the same for your friend. This is not the easiest thing to detect! I'm sure the DR feels terrible!!!!
Dona's surgery went well. Along with the kidney, they also removed an encapsulated tumor, a few lymphnodes and a section of intestine that was close by. Doctors wern't going to tske any chances.
The tumor was crumbly which means cells could easily break off and start growing elsewhere. (metastisise sp. is the technical word)
That's really bad.
Pathology reports come in Friday or Saturday. Results will determine chemo.
i'm relieved SOMEONE decided to jump on this ASAP
That's just too scary and is wy i really don't trust general practicioners.
confusing business with friendship
