Thank you so much. I read the attachment and understand. What I don’t grasp is that for two years we were told the cancer was non invasive. Every four months when he went for the Cisto if they found a little growth they snipped it out and were were told it was non malignant. He had tons of blood tests, urine tests, scans ,several upper and lower GI and all showed negative.
When he had his hip replacement they did all the customary tests and nothing. A week before he passed he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I thought that may be the reason for his multiple symptoms. At that point hadn’t eaten for over a week the gastro doctor said it was in his head. At the request of the Neurologist we took him to the VA for additional blood tests. He was so week we had to wheel him in. They did more scans and administered a pint of blood and did not think he needed to be admitted.
Two days later he has a pt scan and that is the first time we learned how dire and incurable the cancer was. He passed a few days later. I keep thinking why did any of the doctors see this after so many tests etc. I see the list of things that can be administered to check for cancer and after many of those no one saw it until it was too late.
