This is such a sad but too often read about problem and why we need to be aggressive on our medical care.

My father had the same thing happen with a test that would have avoided his death from colon cancer. No one told him the test needed to be followup, and sat in the chart. nearly a year or more later the cancer spread to the liver, lungs, back bone, and then into the brain.

Colon cancer has a high cure rate.

It is a terrible thing, but I am glad the nurse did call now.
My prayers for her health go with your family.
