My father has recently passed away from cancer. He was battling it for about a year. The thing is two years ago he calls me and tells me he thinks he has cancer again (he had it in his larynx when he was 30 and had radiation treatment to get rid of it). I advise him to talk to his doctor of course. His doctor brushed it off saying this feeling is from your trip to Nepal and gave him some antibiotics. Fast forward a year later he is beginning to feel weak and the doctor had some blood tests. He had a low blood cell count and had cancer for a year since my dad thought he had it. Was it difficult to find the cancer cells the first time around? Or was my dad's doctor an asshole for not taking him more seriously? Maybe he'd be alive today if he had discovered it when he believed he had it in the first place. I really hate my dad's doctor, he in fact is an ass hole I've had to talk to him.
