They have identified where the fluid is coming from, just waiting on biopsy results to find out which sort of cancer I have so further tests and treatment can be planned. In the meantime I'm being monitored and tended to 24/7.
I've actually asked them to hold off further any further exploratory scans and probes for a bit while I recover from being cut open (only keyhole but with a lot of bruising and swelling cos of the biopsies and one lump being completely removed) and I'm pleased they have respected my wishes.
About the only improvement I'd suggest is having more staff per patient, not because they aren't doing their job well, but being more or less totally lucid I can see how hard they work and it's hard to imagine that doesn't lead to burn out eventually.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Originally posted by doodab View PostI'd disagree. They have been pretty timely with tests, since I was admitted I haven't had to wait more than a few hours for any non invasive procedure, and both ops were scheduled promptly and happened on time.

Hope it's working out as well as can be expected.Comment
