I honestly don t know what to say. My 48 year old ...

I honestly don t know what to say. My 48 year old mom was diagnosed with cancer around her heart. She underwent open heart surgery where they removed part of the tumor and fixed her heart. She was referred here. I was told that we had nothing to worry about by one oncologist because her cancer wasn t spreading and was very tiny. After 7 months of chemo, doctor said she was doing amazing. The doctor even promoted immunotherapy. After 11 months from initially coming here after open heart, my mom passed away. She ended up having a tumor in her pancreas and 11 small tumors in her brain that apparently originated from that tiny tumor around her heart. It apparently spread, even after open heart surgery was performed in which most of her tumor was removed via surgery. It s interesting how the new tumors were never diagnosed or mentioned until the very end. Either excessive amounts of radiation and chemo in a short span of 11 months might have provoked it. My mom had no PMH prior to surgery and never on any medication. I don t know. I feel like the doctor here really didn t focus much on the pt, it might be different depending on the dr. Most of the time we would see the nurse practitioner and not the doctor. The doctor would literally read the patient s history or cat scan overview, while in the patient s room. Using his 2 secs to read and then leave without properly looking at the patient or having a proper conversation. Hope and reassurance from a doctor is what cancer patients need. Patient s mental mind set is what gives patients hope and is a big factor in their recover state so as a cancer doctor think of a better approach... take more time with pt. The staff here is good/friendly, but the dr my mom had needs to improve his patient care and be more up to date with each patient.
