Rhonda

This is my aunt Rhonda. She likes watching UGA play, going to concerts, hanging out with friends, and most of all spending time with family. For anyone that has met her, you know that she’s an overall happy person. On January 18, 2009, after months of living with pain, fatigue, discharge, and weight loss, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Rhonda went to the same doctor time and time again over months. She was always told the same thing; she was either ovulating or stressed out. She visited the ER several times only to be told to visit her doctor. She was finally given a number to call to set up a laparoscopic surgery. She called constantly for days and days. The calls always went to the answering machine. It said that they were open but were busy or with another patient.

Finally giving up, Rhonda visited a different doctor. After a single visit, he told her that she had cervical cancer. This doctor figured that out after one visit. How is it possibly that the first doctor couldn’t figure it out after all those visits? Does he just not care or just not know what he’s doing. Whatever the case, he doesn’t deserve to practice medicine.

Rhonda could have been fighting this for months. Now thanks to that doctor, time is flying by. She is scheduled for a CAT scan and two pre-ops on Friday. We will know where to go from there. A surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. We have no idea if it has spread yet. All I know is that I’m going to try my hardest to make sure something happens with this lawyer so that nothing like this ever has to happen to any other woman ever again.

With all this going on, I'll be spending a lot more time in Franklin County. I'm going to be there with Rhonda as much as possible. I'll try to keep everyone updated as soon as I find anything out.
