My Dad Won't Let Anyone Go to His Doctor Appointment
About five years ago, my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He is having a bone marrow biopsy in a few days and I am very nervous. A week after the biopsy, he has a consultation scheduled and my sister wants to go with him to the appointment. But, as he put it, he feels as if she would be intrusive.

How Can I Tell if the Doctor Botched My Dad's Surgery?
My father has colon cancer and I think the doctor may have botched his surgery. My dad has received three surgical resections. He's underweight, malnourished, and can't keep fluids or food down, even with the help of his medicine. Is this normal or did the doctor botch his surgery?
