Incorrect diagnosis by a Dr.

stileju — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:14:40 GMT

A friend of mine was told he had Acid Reflux when he visited a dr. for his symptoms which were, coughing, tiredness and unable to swallow easily, loss of appetite.

I told him Acid Reflux would not cause that and to see a specialist. The specialist just diagnosed him with B-Cell Lymphoma cancer in his chest around his tracea and surrounding area. Thank God it is in Stage 1 and treatable with Chemo therapy.

I am curious how much this happens and how many people are diagnosed wrong and die from it.

Is any information available on this subject?

Thanks

Judy
