How I Diagnose CANCER & WHY There are Delays in Reports: Pathologist Explains | The Patient Story

[@dgator3599]

Wow! I really like this doctor! Too bad he's behind the scenes but in listening to him explain his job, it gives some relief knowing they are also dedicated in helping patients going through health scares. Too bad the only doctors we regularly see are in and out of the exam room in 10 minutes. Great content. Hope you will be able to interview more doctors...esp the ones behind the scene!

God bless you for your chosen path as a large B cell lymphoma patient begging to get into CAR T. Reoccurring 8 weeks after RCHOP. Your chosen path was instrumental initially. And now reoccurring under my lung they needed robotic surgery to remove that node and a brilliant pathologist. Like U. For accurate diagnosis. Your behind the scenes work. Can not be valued enough. I thank u. I bless u. And I agree that the cells are magical under that microscope. Your association to the beauty of art is so right on 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙🦋🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Who double checks and regulates this God to make sure he is right?

Many of these cancers are rare and tricky and thus take a while to be correctly diagnosed.I was diagnosed with Mycosis Fungoides,a rare T Cell Lymphoma, and it took about 7 months for it to be diagnosed.

Excellent episode. I’m a RN AND my daughter has a GBM. I am not sure that patients should get a pathology report until the MD has a chance to review p. Having said that we have always gotten the MRI and the doctors appointment the same day. When my daughter was diagnosed 10 years ago I actually got the report of her pathology prior to the doctors. As her mother the burden rested on me letting the news.

Thank you for sharing your own experience in this. Cannot imagine having to break the news to your own child, but perhaps there was more comfort for her because you are a medical expert. Sending you both hugs. -Stephanie

Do unto others. Is in practice each day.

[@michaelyoung5707]

Did you see that video of the person using the microscope? They can’t even use it right so how can I trust you looking at an ever changing/evolving cellular digital system and your judgment telling me that I have cancer? This guy is a God!!!

[@juliettevharris]

I hate that certain doctors aren't available to talk to. My biopsy wasn't as definitive. It said I don't have lymphoma, but within the flow cytromerty, my cd4:cd8 ratios are high, which can be a sign of lymphoma. They clarified that they didn't test for all lymphomas. 😡 Why not? I just wish I could talk to them and ask them why not and how to do further testing. I mean, I'll def talk to my doctor, but still, I'd love to talk to the pathologist. I mean, I guess this is an argument for a patient not getting the results before the doctor does, because all this has done is confuse me.

[@kimberlykimmie1728]

I had a question have they ever missed diagnosed because sometimes they get the wrong information

[@Groovygal2026]

Is CD45 a marker for reed sternberg cells? I had a FNA lymph node biopsy that came back consistent with reactive, but almost half of the markers that the report said were used were actually reported. It’s made me nervous, why are not all the markers used reported? The lymp node is still bothering me and hasn’t gone down, making it 16 months old. My doctor keeps reminding me its a very accurate test and it said its normal and just reactive, but it doesn’t feel normal. I guess my question is, how accurate is the fna for a neck lymph node?

[@gayanisugathadasa5388]

Dear doctor Is there a possibility of diagnosed lung cancer by using a blood sample instead of doing a biopsy?
