"Treatment time scale"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in Dec 2012 and I've had to fight for 3 mnths now to try and find suitable treatment only because I do not want risky surgery!

Its an absolute joke, I know there are other treatment options available in many other forms...I've not had pet scans etc to see if my cancer has spread or a biopsy!

Ive been told to sit back and watch it basically and if it wasnt for me asking for a refferal for a 2nd opinion I would not have got that either!

3 Months and still no treatment plan is a pure joke when it comes to cancer!

Darlington hospital has to be the worst place I've ever had treatment and hopefully I will never have to go back there again!

Fighting cancer is bad enough....Fighting the people who are supposed to help you is twice as bad!

Disgrace!
