My mother lost her battle with PC on Jan 23 after 7 months. I'm angry at the attitude of despair from the doctors. I realize the odds, but there was so little explaning, hoping, feeling from any of the physicians which were involved. Neither of them have called to follow up since sending her home on hospice in late Nov. She was treated at Hackensack Medical Center. She had been battling diabetes for 15yrs+ and in her last few years, the doctor was unable to control her blood sugar levels despite all experimentation with insulin of all sorts. Why didn't he think to scan her pancreas? This seems like such an obviouse route to me. Am i nieve? PC runs in her family, but we were not aware. This also makes me angry. There were so many times when this should have been caught over the last few years. We may have not saved her life, ultimately, but certainly have made it longer. It's estimated that the cancer had been living within the Pancreas for 2+ years. She only felt pain this May-June. Is anyone else angry with the level of medical service their loved one has received? This hospital has a good reputation, but i was not impressed AT ALL during her 7 month battle. Mami, I love you and miss you dearly.
