My wife age 61 in FL went to a new Doc in Fl about 18 months ago. She had the usual blood work, chest E-Ray and Cologuard test. She went back the following week and all tests were negative but Cologuard test not yet received. They were to call when results came in. About 2 months late my wife realized she had not heard about colorguard results and called the Doctors office and told they could not locate them but would call back. They never did and she forgot about and I assumed they must have been negative. Two months ago she goes for OB/GYN check up and was having issues with abdominal pain, and various symptoms related to female problems and a compete hysterectomy was planned for 7/3/23. The OB/GYN's office sent for medical records from the Doctors office that did the cologuard and in my wife's records found a positive cologuard test from about 18 months back. That Doc that did that had the cologuard records all the time then called yesterday (a trying to CYA call) and said she had called my wife and told her the result were positive which was a lie, as you do not forget a call like that. Nor would I, as my wife would surely have told me. Anyway, OB?GYN surgery postposed awaiting a colonscopy. Since symptoms of female issues can be similar to colon cancer issues we are obviously concerned. How much of a problem could that 18 month delay cause if it is cancer? We are assuming very big since early detection is the biggest life saver for this type of cancer. Very concerned couple!
