We are so glad we came here. Not only did Dr. Force and his team feel that my Father-in-law probably did NOT have mesothelioma, based on his PET Scan and other indications, but Dr. Force discussed how the other medial issues my Father-in-Law had were probably the cause for his fluid in his plural cavity and laid out what he saw as the best path to a recover. Dr. Force also offered to call his local Anderson SC doctor with an offer to recommend his feeling of what needs to be done, Thanks to Dr, Force, a team of local doctors are working together to try and fix what they can concerning his throat and vocal cord issues that are preventing him form drinking and eating properly - and - they are installing a feeding tube to get the nutrients/proteins he needs to get back healthy and possible stop the fluid production in his plural cavity. My Father-in-Law, and our entire family, can not thank Dr. Force and his entire Team enough for giving Pop hope and a path for possible recovery. |
