Question

my mum has carpel tunnel syndrome,she has had injections to help it but they never worked so they booked her in for an operation on it.she then also developed a lump on her ankel that the said was a ganglian and they would need to cut it out so they will combine both operations into one.they told her they will keep her awake through this as she has brital ashma,enphysemia and that putting her asleep could cause a servere ashma attack,she went for the operation this morning and they have now said that they aint sure if it really is a ganglian and need to do a biopsy instead.they are also now going to put her to sleep.it really worried me now.what if something goes wrong,,,you hear how crap hospitals are now and can never put your trust in them

Answer 1

It is mandatory for a surgeon who cuts a lesion to send a specimen of the excised flesh for Biopsy, to rule out existence of any malignancy in the system. Ganglions, and lymph nodes are notorious for mimicking or masking cancer growths. Once it is confirmed that the lesion was benign, your mom won't have to worry about the Ganglion. But if cultures show malignant cells, it a warning that there is need for urgent treatment and also extensive investigations to locate the exact site of original disease. These Ganglions and nodes are only mirrors! So, please don't mistrust the Doctors in this case.

Answer 2

The general rule is any half *** dr. can do surgery.. its the anestiologist ya really have to pick and worry about.. they put you down and they bring you back...

And that rule is from Dr's.. I worked in hospitals most of my life until i retired... No **** thats what Drs said themselves.. Nurses werent so kind LOL

Answer 3

I hope & I wish she will be ok.
