I was diagnosed with melanoma last year and it took me four weeks to get another appointment to see the doctor then referred north to Shands hospital. It took five more weeks to get an appointment there to see a surgeon and four more weeks before I could get the surgery !
when I lived up north in Ohio the day my results came back they shipped me off to Ohio State Medical hospital where I had the surgery the next morning . For matters such as this I have been shocked at the time it takes for a response for surgery.
so there’s the difference of caring or maybe I’ll care in a few months. I am not impressed. I am lucky The cancer did not Metastasize and I am alive to talk about it!
