TIM R asked:
Also I have suffered with bowel cancer and have recently had a radical hysterectomy and 85% of my bowel removed. My life is devastated. I have 2 small children and I have still cancer remaining. Approx 4 doctors failed to find this as I have had extensive tests but none of them found this. What should I do. I am 43 years old and my family and I have suffered immensley. I just want to to know what is the right thing to do. I feel that it should have been found much earlier. My symptoms of this dates back to 2001.

Connect all the dots of your life one at a time and re-live them to the fullest…meanwhile it’s back for treatments…you have no other choice unless you just want to give up, but why do that since you have made it this far??

Just so you know, I read your post just not sure what you should do. I hate to be negative but my guts thinks the court would side with the doctors. I can think of so many reason and medical mumbo jumbo the doctors could go into as to why the diagnoses was missed.
I feel really sorry for you. I hope things get better.

I guess you have two choices
1.spend every waking moment going to lawyers,in and out of court and try to sue the Dr who was irresponsible in the first case……or
2. spend every waking moment fighting this disease accept every possible bit of medical help and enjoy and live for each day with your family as much as you possibly can
also get support
God bless you and your family
How long can I smoke?
I feel for your misfortune. You have no options left excepting carrying on with the treatments viz. Removal of he tumor by surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy. If your oncologist have confirmed that you are having Ovarian and bowl cancer you have to carry out the treatments.
Many a times the disease spread very fast from one organ to another anytime, before detection of cancer in one organ, or during treatment or after treatment and all the 4 doctors can not misdiagnosed. You say you have found the symptoms in 2001, that means 6 years back still you are above to live on means the treatments given to you have been effective and acted on your body.
So there is no point in blaming any one at this stage by going to Court etc. and you have to ensure that at least now you are in the hands of a able and good Oncologist to continue your treatment. Considering your status and your children, i suggest this. The side effects of these treatments will be just horrible and toilsome and you have no option but to continue with them as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA-

Spend your time with your family and fighting the cancer. If you would like to email me my mother would be more than happy to talk to you about alternative diet with herbs to help in conjunction with the traditional treatment you are and have received. She has literally watched people with late stage advanced cancer heal through this.
Get well first and foremost and try not to dwell on this because stress is so very disruptive to your system. I am so very sorry that you and your family are going through this. I feel for you all and will keep you in my prayers.
Have a good cry and then start fighting this. Make sure you get a little fresh air and sunshine everyday and take a short walk as much as your body can handle and believe that none of this is happening in vain. Get strong and be proactive about making other women aware of this and to help them to become proactive with their own health.
God Bless and Be Well!
