Boy ain't that the truth. My DH had to see my PCP within a few weeks of my diagnoses. PCP had not gotten my results yet. DH told him of my diagnoses, guess the PCP turned white as a ghost, NOT the news he was expecting.
Many years prior to my diagnoses, my mom ended up in ER with serious stomach pain (like a match burning inside her stomach) and rectal bleeding. ER doc was 99% sure it was colon cancer. Colonoscopy was to confirm it. No cancer, not even 1 polyps, just a bad case of diverticulitis. We now know I should have been scoped then, when it was just a mere nasty polyp. Anyway on the way out from my visit with GI doc, he's telling me, he's not worried about finding anything serious like cancer. Maybe beginnings of diverticulitis, butt because I had no symptoms, "nothing to worry about" especially cancer wise. Ha Ha!
My time line tells a different story,
