No, my mom does not see that doctor anymore. She actually doesn't see any doctors anymore. She was given numerous antibiotics due to what they called a fungal infection that kept recurring for years after radiation and also had several surgeries and scoping procedures done as a follow-up to her prior epiglottis cancer. However, each time she would have a procedure her ear pain would worsen, she would lose her voice completely and not be able to swallow. She also found out that the antibiotics prescribed by a doctor from the Mayo Clinic was actually doing more harm than good. She was told she had medically induced ??? I can't think of the word but either way the antibiotics she was on were making her even sicker. Needless to say it has left her feeling very frustrated with the medical profession. She feels a lot of what doctors do has more to do with money than patient care and I can't blame her for feeling that way. I wish I could find a doctor who knew something about her current condition dealing with all these side effects who would do something more than offer a prescription or do exploratory surgery on her. I would just love to be able to make this easier on her.
