My Father has Lung Cancer

Great news, we have managed to secure an appointment with the London Oncology Clinic next Tuesday. One thing that has been requested is a copy of all the xray and CT scans. After some pestering the NHS hospital have agreed to give me a copy of these for a fee of £50. That’s correct, you heard me right, the NHS who my father has paid throughout his life are charging for ‘his’ xrays. Still, can’t be helped, I’m hopefully going to pick them up on Monday.

I have finally received both referral letters from my fathers GP.

One is to arrange a second, second opinion from another Orthopaedic surgeon, this time from Bupa.

The other referral is more importantly for the London Oncology Clinic. Hopefully they will see us soon.

After reading some of the advise from Dr. West and also some responses from the cancerforum.net site I am convinced that we shouldn’t go ahead with the knee op.

I’ll talk to my father this weekend.
