proton Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Why does the forum posting options only come up with smoking, drink and I am too fat? Anyway, MIL 75 diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer at one Bkk public hospital, sent to another one near Vic Monument. They say it's only a 'spot' and will operate next week, when daughter asked if it can wait until after her wedding 2 weeks later they say no. Today they cancelled it saying a 6-7 hour operation is not worth it and are putting her on chemo. Something does not seem right, I thought they give chemo first to shrink a tumour before operating, why do it for a 'spot' If it was up to me I would get another opinion but they seem to believe all Drs here know what they are talking about, can you ask for the scans X rays etc to take to another hospital?

Those are sub-forums within the Health and Medicine forum.

I have a simple rule of thumb which is , when in doubt , get a second or third opinion. One thing is for sure , with cancer better to get on it sooner rather than later. It is a common killer in our neck of the woods. As for hospitals , sometimes I have had better and more honest treatment at government hospitals compared to pvt ones where getting money from patients is an important part of the ' business ' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
