Have been diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer and normally the treatment is to remove the uterus with pretty much a 100% cure rate. But, because I am a paraplegic, doctors do not want to do surgery because of blood clots, lung problems, diabetes (since accident) etc. so they referred me to the the radiology people for radiology.
The radiology people do not want to do radiation for pretty much the same reasons but they have a whole new set of excuses to go with this. So, basically I have been pretty much shunted off to the next doctor because of the risks involved with treatment. It is a lot more compllicated than that but that is what it boils down to.
In the midst of all this, I now have carpel tunnel in both wrists so need surgery for this as well. This has been a lot easier to find help for than the cancer. I should have surgery on the one wrist this coming Tuesday.
Wondered if anyone else has trod this same road? Have you be diagnosed with a serious illness, like cancer, and been refused treatment becasue of the complications of being paraplyzed?
Is this typical treatment - if you got good treatment, what did you have to do to get it? Throw a fit and say that you were going to sue if they did not do SOMETHING? I would really like to konw if others have hit this type of brick wall.
