My husband had a colonoscopy on thursday16th Jan 2020 and was bluntly told it's cancer ,surgery and maybe treatment and that's all he was told ,no explanation on where it was or what they where doing
The consultant who was supposed to do was there but let a person who was doing it was learning ,the consultant,did not ask my husband if this was acceptable,all through the procedure he was saying to the person doing it no no you are hitting the sides.you need more putting in and shouting I will have to take over ,but he didn't ,he could see my husband getting very distressed and ending up taking gas and air .after what he told he just said you can go never asked if anyone was with him before he told him it's cancer
I am disgusted with his treatment ,we went to our own doctor the next day who had received ,he explained things to us ,but on leaving the hospital my husband was supposed to be given a discharge form with all the info including where it was on a diagram showing this showing where the biopsy had been taken from ,this was not given to him ,the doctor told him it was in his rectum and they had taken 7 biopsies
I have phoned the hospital and they said they will send out the form but this is being done after the initial shock and trauma
as anyone else been on here had cancer of the rectum that could help and tell me if they have been through this
