I have taken the advice of Milobob and several others to get a second opinion. However I have discovered that the doctor I am seeing also works as a consultant at the hospital where my complaint originates. I do hope he is objective as I don’t want to complicate matters worse by thinking he is biased. I have also emailed the PALS team and have asked for a meeting to discuss my concerns.
oneards and upwards, I hope.

Hello Alan (Al985)
I honestly think you are doing the correct thing here.
I don't think surgery was right for you and I think after surgery there should have been an earlier intervention once you had the results from the histology.
Taking the matter further should ease your anxiety and I hope ensure that others who come under this surgeon will not have the same issues you have had.
Best wishes - Brian.

I am a Macmillan volunteer.
I had the same. The Dr I now have was an understudy of the horror I kicked into touch.
There were no recriminations and as I’m such a lovely person (ha ha) everything has gone really well.
Meet the dr and be brave and don’t bring up the past dr only your past medical concerns.
Good luck
Take care
