I hate to rant about personal shit, but this is my blog and I need a space to rant for a while.
My mom'd just finished dealing with ovarian cancer, it's only been half a year. She went through test after test, and went to extraneous radiation just to make sure everything was fine, and in the end the doctor told her she has nothing to worry about.
She's since switched doctors. Getting a lump checked out on her leg (turns out just a hernia), the doc told her to get a chest x-ray while she's at it.
Now they've found that she has cancer again. Lung. Fucking. Cancer.
God dammit, if you're treating somebody for cancer, shouldn't it be part of your duty to check out their entire body for any more signs? How can you let that totally slip by, to be caught in just some random ass checkup?
I feel so bad for her, she's went through so much shit last year, and now she has to go through it all again.
Thankfully this time she'll go into it otherwise relatively healthy, unlike last time where she started it right after a massive surgery.
But still, how the fuck was this not caught earlier?
