I was diagnosed with Colectoral Cancer on Oct 26th 2022 and had emergency surgery on Oct 28th.
For over a year my family dr was telling me that the psin I was having down my rt side and into abdomin was a pulled muscle. Only twsts he did was an ultrasound of my Rt Kidney and Chest Xray. Refused to send me to another dr gor 2nd opinion.
Now he say's my hemoglobin showed I had a low chance of having cancer. Supposedly feels terrible. I had a CT scan done beginning of Feb and cancer has now spread to liver and muscle in Rt groin. I wish I had the option to go to another Dr. However our healthcare is terrible and there is a list with thousands of names of ppl waiting to get a Dr. There is so much I would like to say to him, but have to bite my tongue.
