I have a tumour in my arm, I have been seeing a consultant in a certain hospital where i was referred to by my gp, my consultant was more than happy to take me on. I had surgery and my tumour returned. My consultant told me that the only treatment for this was surgery as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and drugs do not work on this kind of tumour. He said the only thing to do was wait it out, he said these tumours can stop growing by themselves and this is what he thought would happen. He sent me away for 6 months which i thought was a long time, and then again sent me away for 3 months, this went on for a year. I told him how much pain I was in, his response was "im not suprised" but did he give me pain relief...no. That was left for me to sort out. At my last scan he told me that it just simply got too big, im going to lose my arm, theres no way it can be saved, not only that but now its in my body and my life is at risk because i will never be rid of it...he then said "we will see you in 3 months". Because of the pain im in I have had to leave work for a while (a professional job in the local government) and now im struggling to get by. The stress levels are unreal as i try to support my daughter but im in that much pain i physically cannot drive or work. I asked for a second opinion, they referred it to london who wouldnt comment, the said they wernt specialists in this cancer to couldnt help, they referred me to somewhere else. I will get to my point..i have now found out that this could of been treated. Radiotherapies are successful on this tumour, and to stop it regrowing there is a medication that kills the growth. So many people have been cured with a mixture of treatment and nobody is ever left...its too late for me, its so big that its on my nerve and slowly my arm is disabling, i can no longer use it properly. They are going to try radiotherapy but we fear its already too late...I AM going to sue. I have suffered at the hands of the NHS and although now theyre helping me I am disabled and I didnt need to be...Now all of yuo who have posted you dont understand why anyone would sue, please read my story and imagine the stress ive felt, the sleepless nights with bills coming in, the loss of earnings, not being able to dress my child properly or myself...yes i do deserve compensating, my life will never ever be the same...if you havent been through something like this you have no room to comment although if i hadnt been through it I would advise someone like myself to sue
