The thumb saga
Today recovering from a traumatic yesterday morning spent in emergency with this very painful thumb.
Got to be too much to bear so I spent three hours there and ending up only with an injection to relieve pain which was wonderful for a few hours.
I get home and cancer clinic rings to ask if I want a cancellation which was that day in relation to consultation with the cancer radiologist which I took since my scheduled date was April 14th. and the cyst is growing larger by the day. I guess my visit to emergency paid off in that respect. I don't think it was a cancellation. The emergency doctor took a few pictures so could have scared them in to action
So to cut a long story short the new growth on thumb is also cancer and is now way too large and the thumb has to come off !
Now I wait for appointment for CT scan and then another wait for appointment with surgeon for amputation.
All at this state due in my and others opinion to family physician's ( and others) less than adequate attention and treatment for over two years before I finally got to first surgeon...age being a big factor played in some decisions
Sorry for rant .....tough times ahead for me....I just feel like suing someone for a billion dollars...
