Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
"Who knows, if you were involved directly with the pt's care you may have, with your attitude even interferred with their care." No, I was not involved - But this statement is really sick. It really is. You are a sick person and to think that I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY? Gross. I need a shower. I...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
"As was said earlier most neuroblastomas are Dx at stage 4 when the prognosis is poor." WRONG. Most neuroblastoma is dx after it has metastisized, not when it is at stage 4. Of course I suppose the oncologist treating Grant lied when he told us that he had never seen a case diagnosed so late...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
Obviously, I came here because there is much I don't know. I never even considered the ENT until after your post. It was the attorney who was also very interested in this aspect of the case. Therefore there may be something there. The ENT will be providing his medical records as well as the atty...- challa

I also understand the doubts that you "all have". The real story is that I don't care about your doubts or whether you think this case has any merit to it. Truly, I don't. That does me not one bit of good. I came for ADVICE, not to be ruthlessly interrogated by those who have about as much court...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
I assumed (in error) that the ENT would not be liable on any level. It IS feasable that the tumor was bulging and/or causing pressure in the ear. Perhaps there was an infection, I don't know. So, if the ENT meerly treated the problem of an ear infection, looking for cancer or tumor as an...- challa

Quote "Please update us after your consultation with the medmal attorney." Since this is a reasonable, level headed request, I'll respond as to what I know THUS FAR.

"I don't find it odd that she has not called to check on the boy, I have pt's dx everyday with terminal dz and cannot possibly call them all to check on them. It is not a flipant attitude, it is the sad truth of how busy we ALL are" Of COURSE YOU don't have time to call and check on anyone. You...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF NEUROBLASTOMA. Apparently I wasn't clear on my last post. What do you mean by TYPE? It's pediatric neuroblastoma, diagnosed in stages. PERIOD. Again, I appreciate the insight and the helpful posts but resent having to answer for 'the mother's actions' or what...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
I am not a physician and I don't believe anyone posting in this thread has a license. I am going by what I was told by two pediatric oncologists have told me on more than one occasion. I need not defend that position or spend hours visiting statistical info on this cancer. I believe what was...- challa

"You are telling me that a doc sees a pt roughly 3 x a week and NO bloodwork/urine was performed" YES, that is exactly what I am telling you. It is hard to believe but true nonetheless. I believe this is why the current doctors who are now treating her son keep reminding her of the 'lack of...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
Urine should be done as a matter of routine in pediatrics and family medicine. My pediatrician does? It should most certainly be done in a chronically sick child just to rule out x,y or z. We aren't talking looking for neuroblastoma or cancer in every child, we are talking standard medical...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
There is only one type of 'neuroblastoma'. It is diagnosed in 'stages' based on the child's age and how far it has metastisized. This cancer is stage 4, the most severe. While a large portion of neuroblastoma is missed early on, it is rare to be diagnosed with stage 4 at 3 years of age...- challa

Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in a 3 year old (Malpractice) South Carolina
To the first responder to my thread, yes, this is ALWAYS fatal if dx after three years of age. There are no survivers past age 8 - period. Prior to three the recovery rate is 80% so timing IS everything. Hard to find these statistics online. Yes, I am certain it is difficult to diagnose as the...- challa

*South Carolina* Hello. My very good friend has a 5.5 year old little boy. When he was 2.5 years old, he became ill with flu-like symptoms. She took her son the the pediatrician (actually the MD was 'family medicine') for 6 months EVERY THREE DAYS. He was diagnosed with everything from acute...- challa
