My Hubby Update

[mallyh]

we were told he had cancer in his good kidney and bladder but the junior doctor got it wrong, it's in his duff kidney ,the growth is mainly in the tube connecting kidney to his bladder so they are removing the kidney and a small piece of bladder .we were both so relieved when we got these results it could have been so much worse, it looks like it was caught early .he has the op about 6 weeks time then 6 weeks doing nothing .they will biopsy the bladder part again but the doctor was quite happy that things will be ok .i did say it frightened the life out of us when told it was his good kidney and he apologised .

I'm shocked. I didn't have you down as a misogynist

[Sqad]

Hoppy..... I am not......I love women, much prefer them to men, but the role of women in medicine as a whole leaves me with great concerns for the NHS.

[Peter Pedant]

excuse me
this thread is NOT about whether gurlz should be doctors
( they should and 50% of NHS staff are now leddies)

but about whether a consultant should manage the new presentation of a possible terminal patient - and yes the answer is yes as well

[Hopkirk]

I'll tell my niece, who has just passed her registrar exams.

[Peter Pedant]

[Patsy33]

Just read the update Mallyh. Such a relief to you both! So pleased that it wasn't worse. It must seem like a miracle you you....xx

[Mamyalynne]

The extra worry was indeed unfortunate and shouldn't have happened, but as you are doing hold tight to the better news.x
