I took my grandpa 3 friday nights ago into our local hospital because he was complaining about pack pain that prevented him from standing up straight (he's 90 years old).
during week 1 they did a biopsy, mri, ctscan and a few xrays. Doctors came in that wednesday to tell us they found something on his back that may be cancerous, possibly a tumor. They are unsure so they'll wait for the tests to come in
week 2 - no update. Doctor came in that tuesday and told me he has an enlarged prostate (44mm), and that might be cancerous, but like everything else so far, still not sure. The test results should come in within a day or 2 (they put a "rush" order on it)
week 3 - nothing all week.....and today is Friday.
I understand that he's up there in age and thus might not be a priority. but fuck man! 3 fucking weeks? I feel like he's on his death bed and the hospital/doctors are just letting him wither away. I talked to 2 of my doctor friends and they told me it usually never takes this long and we should seek care in the States. If he wasn't so old, I think that would be an option.
If i had told me it would take this long i would have dished out the $5000 and taken him over to buffalo new york to get it checked out.
