Question: Oncolgist please- my partner , female,
41 at the time had hip pain , left hip when laying on her side. (5 yrs ago) We had no insurance.
Dr found lump.
Biopsied and it was malignant. She borrowed $5000 Cash as he said this was an aggressive canced and she had to have this tumor removed. Dr had confirmed it was contained in one golf ball size tumor. He used some kind of tool and sucked it out. Then he did margin testing and said she was cancer free.he said she did not need radiatiom or chemo. Her hip still hurts 5 yrs later. He did an. Ultrasound on her hip 3 yrs ago and sAid its still gone. I have always womdered and worried how a dr can remove a maligmantt tumor and not do
Chemo or radiation. Have you heard of this?? Are there cancers where you have it sucked out or removed and its complettely gone and you just move on? Oh wait he did one chemo wash inside her skin and did margin testing. Im just concerned it would still be there or could have now spread to other parts of her body? She is sick alot but without insurance we cant go to dr often. Can you tell me if this sounds possible? The dr is no longer in our area and I'm not interested in finding out if he was a Quack, just concerned for my partner and wondered if this sounds like something that others experience too? I thought everyone had to go through chemo and /or radiation but he literally told her she did not need it because it was completely contained. Does this aound possible? ThAnk you, xxxxxxx
