I am sooooo sorry that you had to go through one horror after another and for NO reason - this is clear case of medical malpractice and you should keep all of that documentation in safe place.

Print out all findings and all records before they "magically" disappear !!! You should lawyer-up ASAP and ask hospital to pay for damages - both physical and emotional !

I know that no money in this world can return you your perfectly healthy gland and normal life at this point but at least you will have money to pay for all kinds of therapies that you might need, as well as for canceling, and possibly another surgery to correct incontinence and ED.
Oh my, I thought I heard it all by now : ((((
I am truly sorry that you have to suffer due to somebody else's utter incompetence !!!
Did they ever notify that other poor person that he actually HAS cancer ???
I am shocked ... to say the least : ((((

Please don't just "sit and suffer" as you say : (((( - fight for compensation ( it should be in millions) and work on full recovery with top notch doctors in all fields that are needed and you will pull yourself up and will resolve your issues < 3 . It is possible to achieve !!! You just need a good team of doctors !
