[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 492438, member: 2459"] A little refresher back story My step dad, B, had prostate cancer a few years back. Because of numerous reasons, radiation was the only treatment he was open to or able to do. I know that radiation, like other medical procedures, come with risks. But what he got was ridiculous. He hasn't had a life in any sense of the word since. His colon is almost literally fried, he has massive internal lesions, a colostomy, pelvic fractures they think from infections in the lesions......he's in horrible shape. And the pain.....the man is on ungodly amounts of morphine. He also has issues with his feet and legs....I saw him tonight and his legs are purple....his feet are bandaged like you would see a leper's bandaged in a movie. The doctors don't know what THAT is from. He needs to have his rectum removed and be sewn shut but the radiation did so much damage, he'll never heal. Never. He signed the usual paperwork acknowledging the risks when he got the radiation but there's GOT to be some sort of recourse. This is absolutely insane. Advice? [/QUOTE]
