Thank you for writing this, I have a similar story to tell with my aunt, the distress and utter hopelessness we felt as a family can never be described. How we can ever move on from this democide I simply do not know.

It is a spiritual attack.

Ha! Oncologists are liars. They have to be. Their job is to convince people that they should take horrible poisons and that the poisons are going to save their lives. Their jobs depend on the lies

Kinda seems that way. Makes you wonder if it requires a certain personality defect for them to be successful at it

You waited for answers from those that told you she was fine, according to their computers she was getting better. When one look at her told them they were in error.

They couldn't accept it, they couldn't. It didn't make any sense to them, so they denied it.

I still can't get over it. We went to these people for help. They made a million dollars off of my moms suffering. The medical system is a criminal organization.

You said it, 'The medical system is a criminal organization.'

I've certainly not seen anything since my retirement in 2017 to make me feel any different, the opposite in fact.

These last few posts have been hard to read— the pain is just too real and too palpable. But your mom’s story needs to be recorded and told. The utter incompetence, lack of concern or curiosity by the medical providers is shocking. That not one doctor even tried to get to the bottom of this is a sad reflection of our current medical system.

BTW, did they ever give you the results of the lumpy biopsy? I’m also shocked that they couldn’t do a cytology analysis of the cells in the fluid that came out of lumpy to look for cancer there. My sisters ovarian cancer was definitively diagnosed by cytology of the fluid they pulled out of her abdomen during pericentesis.

What your mother suffered is harrowing!

I am not a doctor, or even in the medical field, but I am wondering if her severe back pain had to do with her kidneys not working so good. For people to have cancer means that their kidneys are already not getting rid of waste in the body properly. As time goes on I think the kidneys get more and more malfunctioning and can cause severe back pain.

So, so sorry you and your Mom went through all of this.

No. It was the tumors in her spine - breaking her bones from the inside.

That was obvious to me because of my mom

Editorial fairy:

Perhaps consider removing the comma. It may increase the power of the sentence.
