Huh? Now this you dont expect.
Evilgoat:
A few weeks back I posted about a close friend who was admitted to hospital with an aggressive brain cancer and a very slim chance of survival.
She came through the surgery but suffered a stroke on the operationg tabe, because of the type pf tumor involved they have to take a lot of the surrounding tissue and this is always a risk.
Only she was told yesterday that the cancer was NOT malignant and although it had to be removed the surgury they performed was unnecesarilly risky and invasive for the tkind of tumor and it may have been treatable without surgury. They have since pulled all of her meds bar the pain killers and steroids. Cancelled her Chemo and they sent her home yesterday along with the rider she can go back to work today if she wants. This to me sounds like they already know the outcome.
And this is a well known private healthcare company!
The last three or four weeks have been utter hell for her and now she has found out it was all unneeded, she was actually ready to deal with being told she was going to die.
Words really fail me at this point.
Rambler-Dents:
Yes, I think words would fail me too. I hope she is going to demand at least an explanation from them.
On a more positive note, your friend isn't going anywhere, so at least you've got something to be relieved about, despite all the incompetence.
tomcat:
how about looking on the bright side she is still with you,the tumor would have had to be dealt with one way or the other be possitive,one of my friends lost her life to skin cancer 18months ago,and my eldest sister is fighting breast cancer just 47 years old.
...ONE LIFE LIVE IT...
Evilgoat:
This has been said a few times. Its nice though as although its all bad, the amount of stress she has been under and its all just gone. Back to herself almost instantly :)
