Proactive Proactive Proactive. I very much agree with you. Unfortunately in our medical world today most doctors specialize so specifically in their one area that they really are limited with their knowledge when it comes to other medical issues. I am a retired nurse of 25 years and have dealt with many patients who have had C.Diff. It can wear them out even when being treated appropriately. Then ad age and other medical problems and you have a very serious condition. Sounds like the doctors were treating the diarrhea as the common side effect of the cancer treatment when it was most likely unrelated. You have my utmost sympathy of your loss and thank you for sharing. For everyone else out there reading:Don’t forget about your (other) health issues you had/have prior to and acquired during your cancer treatment. It is very important to have a good primary doctor in addition to your cancer specialists to deal with the other medical issues.
