blood clots are common in cancer patients. I would start a routine of baby aspirin daily. Might not stop it, but it is worth a try.

A friend of mine around 10 years ago had glioblastoma. He was at work and was acting confused, couldn’t remember things...He went from being diagnosed to death in only 2 weeks but it wasn’t because of socialized medicine, they said he just didn’t have symptoms until it was too late, absolutely horrifying, only 32 and he left a wife and two small kids.

Stephen, a former council grounds worker, died suddenly on 13 July 2011.

Well, that's a blast from the past. What shook this story loose today?

“ "I couldn't believe it when we visited the GP, who dismissed his symptoms as stress-related and even said he was faking, something I know my dad wouldn't do.”

Welcome to socialized medicine.

This is sad but glioblastoma is basically a death sentence.

Even a timely diagnosis likely wouldn’t have changed anything.

My wife passed from this very thing last September. Similar situation. The GP and cancer center knew she had advanced incurable Brain Cancer but hid it from us. Instead they put her through the torture of treating a second less severe cancer spot she had in her lung and ignored the Brain Cancer because they knew there was nothing they could do for it. If they had told us we would have just made plans and not had our hopes for her to be cured destroyed because of the Brain Cancer they hid.

Why did they handle it this way? Because if they had been honest with us they would not have made that mint from treating the other cancer for several months. They knew we would have just lived as best she could without all that other useless torture and treatment for that other insignificant spot considering the circumstances and reality. But finally it gave her a brain bleed that put her on hospice for a few weeks and then she had a second brain bleed that finally took her.

This is our new “compassionate” health care system at work here so beware and ask questions and double check EVERYTHING. Do not just blindly trust. You can’t do that anymore. All they care about is making a buck and they will absolutely deceive you to do it.

It was a CT scan at Hull Royal Infirmary that showed he wasn't faking anything.

But wasn’t the CT free for him?

This makes sense.

Its the UK

One of the worst actual care places in the world

Plus they are incredibly misandrist man hating over there

The GP didnt care, wanted him dead
