A Cautionary Tale 20:38 - Jul 30 with 2815 views

I said on a previous thread that my sister has been diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately in her case it turned out to be incurable simply because her GP and a consultant failed to get her scanned. Now she is languishing in a bed in Ty Olwen. Our family devastated by the whole sorry affair.

Now I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else as the anguish for all concerned is immense.

So I would implore you to treat any suspicious abdominal pains with the utmost caution. Females over 50 years old who have symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome for the first time in their lives or changes in toilet habits or swelling of upper
abdomen need to be checked thoroughly. Blood tests can help of course but they do not always reveal other things that may be going on.

Doctors obviously have a duty of care and are usually very professional but they are not infallible. If you feel you are not getting anywhere with the GP and you still have suspicions that something is not quite right, seek a second opinion or pay for a private scan. It could just save someone's life.

Regrettably we have had to learn the hard way So get your family members genned up on female cancers and male cancers and heed the warning signs and give yourselves the best chance of survival by early and correct diagnosis.
