Well once again in my reading the paper I came across another article I thought I'd share ~ I'd love to get Dr. D's views on this one!!
All I can say is I can not even begin to imagine what this woman went through thinking she had an agressive cancer and having the procedure completed and then finding out "ohhh we are really sorry, but we were wrong". WTF?
Which also brings me to this question, "What about the woman who DOES have this agressive type of cancer ~ do they know who she is???"
If not how on earth do they narrow it down to let this woman know before it is too late.
I know all to well about being misdiagnosed, years back I was told I had agressive MS only to find out, it was a lab mix up. I had to under go over a year of testing, medications, only to find out I was having mini strokes. That has all been cleared up, but it took me going to several different doctors before one decided to keep me in the hospital for the symptoms to accure and have a brain scan done.
Doing that they discovered, I do indeed have a brain, and that it all of my symptoms were the direct result from the mini stokes that were all stress related. Yet, I went for 6 months, as a single mother, thinking I had agressive MS, making arrangements for my son and dogs thinking I didn't know how long I still had left. But even going through all that I could not even begin to understand the fear that gripped this woman when hearing the findings of the test that she had presented to her.
I know doctor's aren't God or much less perfect but I'd much rather have a doctor to be very certain of my results than to happen to me what happened to these women.
As I stated earlier, I'd love to hear Dr. D's views on this item and advise how people can avoid such things happening to them.
