My father's esophageal cancer went undiagnosed until 6 weeks before he died. For years his doctors called him a hypochondriac. It made him crazy. When MCV hospital doctors requested his medical records from the military they were shocked by seeing his cancer so advanced and clear in the x-rays.
I am very sensitive to this whole experience. It is one thing to pass away trying to fight something, but to have nothing to fight and people thinking you are weird for complaining would be sensless. It was sensless. I don't want sensless, but feel like I am the discoverer my cancer, even when dentists saw it for weeks, the discoverer of something wrong after the radiation began.... I have felt this ulcer pain for weeks while my complaints were associated to surgery and radiation.
I am losng trust and can't get anything to sync up..
Sorry.....
