Tumor is back
They found tumors on my left kidney in 2016 and performed a partial left nephrectomy. They’re back. Now they’re removing the entire kidney.
My doctor hates me. They scheduled the procedure for March. I called once to ask if I could get an earlier date. I was worried it would spread.
I went in to talk to my doctor in person. He called me a “big fatty.” He said he’d schedule dates for Black Friday because he “hates his family anyway.” Kept complaining about the hospital and having to talk to patients rather than operate: I don’t trust him now but what options do I have.
If I try to get another doctor the cancer could spread between now and whenever that new doctor schedules surgery.
I feel more alone than ever.
