Can anyone tell me if your doctor seen something kinda fishy at least 10yrs before hand why wait take care of it then before it turns into something worse. So we don't have to go through this drastic situation. I feel like we could have started something then while we were younger before we have to remove everything. Feeling more pissed off the more I think about it I feel like they could have started something kinda treatment way earlier before it got to this point. Now one Doctor doesn't want to say anything about the Previous Doctor. Just wanted to see what you think 🤔 😕. I'm just thinking. What you Think 🤔

It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when looking back and wondering if earlier action could have changed the course of treatment. Many patients experience these same feelings and questions about timing of interventions. Medical decisions often involve weighing risks and benefits at each point in time, and what seems obvious in hindsight isn't always clear when those earlier decisions were made. These are important concerns to discuss with your current healthcare team, as they can help explain the reasoning behind different approaches to monitoring versus active treatment.
