In before anyone tries to blame this on socialized medicine. This has happened in the U.S. too, more than once.

On the bright side, he'll have no trouble keeping his svelte figure well into his seventies.

Good news: the chemo has hugely amplified your chances of getting chemo in the next few years.

I screw up posts like so often I'm starting to wonder about brain cancer.

Actually, it worked fine the way it was. Clever, even.

Yeah, but I'd rather be clever intentionally. That was just accidental derp.

Maybe his doctor was in love with him. The way to a man's heart and all that.

And the part they removed will never get cancer. SUCCESS!

Two very important words: Second opinion.

That's horrible no matter how you slice it.

Oh, and

*Man told he has stomach cancer
*Doctors remove 80 per cent of stomach
*Tests show he never had cancer

I'm sure Farkers have pointed this out before me, and will continue to point this out after me, but I like the little bullet points of the article right under the headline. It helps me feel extra prepared for what I'm about to read.

Is it just me or does he have pink hair? Probably from the lighting or something.
However my mom had a similar experience a few years ago, she went into her doctor a couple times during the week for side pains. She waited a few weeks before going to the doctor because she was going to the gym and exercising and wasn't use to it, so she just thought it was normal pains from working out muscles you never use to before. After the second week she went to the doctor, they tested for appendicitis, and it came back negative. Her normal doctor was out of town and said to wait until she came back, and when she did she ordered a ct scan. The ct scan came up something odd by her appendix. So they took her to the ER where three doctors came arguing wtf it was and that if she needed surgery right away. The surgeon came in and said no its probably infection pump her up with iv antibiotics if it doesn't improve he will go in. The next day the surgeon said ok on the surgery since there was no improvement. He held back her surgery 3 times that day and finally went in to remove what he thought was her appendix. Apparently it wasn't there and he removed 2-3ft of her small, large intestines and colon. He told my grandmother and I that her intestines were all damaged and had to be removed, but he told my mom days later he removed all her intestines because he was sure it was cancer. She didn't have cancer, and it kind of turned out her appendix exploded. If the doctor waited any longer than he did, she would of died. My mother now has to go to the bathroom all the time and has a strict diet to help her not have to go ever 20 minutes. She is in constant pain, worse pain than before having the surgery. We will never know if he went over board on to much or not. He removed the parts of her intestines that absorbs water and nutrients to the body so that is why she has to go so much. Also the surgery gave my mother 3 hospital related infections that were not tested by her doctor, a gastro specialists, and her surgeon for a year. After she got rid of them she is a bit better, but she had those infections for so long didn't help either.

"To find out I didn't have cancer. It was just devastating," he said this week.

"I was numb. I just couldn't believe it. I thought he was going to tell me they found more cancer and then he told me the other way."


you can't make some people happy no matter what.

I don't believe Obamacare is truly socialized.

I don't either, but there will be plenty of people who will claim cases like this will happen under the Obama Health plan because OMG SOCIALISM.

Nevermind the fact that misdiagnosed cancer cases have happened in the U.S. for years, long before "Obamacare" was even thought of. They happened during George H.W. Bush's presidency, as well as Bill Clinton's, George W. Bush, etc.

Hell, they happened when Eisenhower was President. I had a cousin who committed suicide after being told she had terminal cancer (she didn't).

She left behind her husband and a 12-year old son. She was not only afraid of the pain she would be in, but she also didn't want her husband and son to see what devastation the treatments & the cancer itself would do to her body.

The subsequent autopsy showed that she didn't have cancer.

Then it must have been lupus.

Gunther: Slartibartfaster: Gunther: Nope, they use placebos

cuz placebos were never used in controlled experiments in the past
