So glad to hear you have seen forward progress!
The issue you bring to light about medications and the professionals responsible make me furious!!! If I were you I would be making calls to every attorney in the USA.
I am no fan of law suits EXCEPT when it might save somebody from the hands of an incompetant!
I have a good friend who lost his mother (as in DEAD) to an overdose of pain medication while in a nursing home recovering from relatively minor surgery. She was in good health otherwise. THESE KIND OF THINGS ARE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
