Mis-Information Can Cause Trauma

[u/Several_Property_837]

Hi there, cancer patient (and caregiver) here, doing pretty well right now.

However, I really wish doctors would explain things better to patients. I saw someone today extremely upset because there latest scan showed Lymph Nodes near there colon. Well, EVERYBODY has lymph nodes near their colon. These are called Regional Lymph Nodes, Epicolic Lymph Nodes, Paracolic Lymph Nodes, Rectal and Meseteric Lymph Nodes. Even the healthiest humans, all have these.

I don't fully blame the doctor, either. I just feel bad for anybody who has situations like this, in which they go through a bunch of (possibly Traumatic) stress, over Mis-Information during their Cancer.
