Dear Steemit Friends,
As a professional doctor, I came across with vast number of cases owing to malagnacy, but today I want to share a my personal experinece of colon cancer that cost the life of my Dear Brother.
My brother was 55 years of age and was apparently was health and fine.. But one day he found something suspecious regarding his health. He was lossing weight in the absence of any loss of appetite.
He then consulted a doctor who advised him some routine basline investigations.All investigations were fine and within normal range.
Doctor advised him to visit back after a week. Doctor was suprised by the fact that he lost further weight.
Therefore Doctor refered him to Tertiary Care Hospital. Again all the baseline were repeated there and again the result was same.
Then he was advised to visit one of the best hospitals of the country and get PET Scan.
PET scan revealed a mass in the descending colon. Biopsy was sent and malagnancy was confirmed
Once the diagnosis was confirmed,, then the team of Highly Qualified Doctors discussed the treatment options for my brother.
Some doctor advised for surgery and someone advised for chemotherapy. But finally they all agreed on a single decission and decided to first do the Chemotherapy and then do the surgery.
Now some of you might be thinking about why go for chemo and then surgery why not just do the surgery and remove the mass
FYI malagnancy spreed through out the body by micro-metastasis thats why it was necessasory to first go for the chemo and then surgery
Chemotherapy was a painless procedure but demanded extreme patience from us. As a singke season of therapy required atleast 3 hours and that did not included the expenses of the chemotherapy.
Total 12 seasons at tha span of 6 months was given and then PET Scan revealed no Micro-metastatic lession in the body
After that surgery was performed but that surgery weeked him to an extend that he was unabke to bear the burden of further chemotherapies
So after the suegery my brother breathed his last
