For two years, I had chronic hemroid problems. I constantly went to the doctor and was given creams, suppositories, etc. I requested a general surgeon to do a colonoscopy and was told I wasn't old enough to worry about anything serious and having a colonoscopy. I was 44 at the time. They told me again I had hemroids, and to change my diet, use stool softeners, etc. In January 2006, I went to the doctor again because I had an abrasion in the vaginal region. I was told I had a tear, and still had hemroids. By April 2006 the problem was still there. I went to my gynecologist because the "tear" was still bothering me. He pulled back the sheet, covered me up and told me to see an oncologist. Make a long story short, if they had done their job, I would have a 95% survival rate, instead of the 40-60% rate I have now been given. Stage 0 instead of Stage IIB. Would you sue? Is it a waste of my time and energy? I just can't decide what to do and would like some ideas from others.
