SARA Nilsson wrote that a PET scan in Finland two weeks earlier had shown tumor cells growing in a lymph node. She received the news last week, even though the regular follow-up was scheduled for November. According to Nilsson, her doctor also believed that radiation treatment should start as soon as possible to reduce the risk of further spread. After a week's attempt to book an MRI, she got an appointment via 1177 on October 31, she stated. The examination was to be done a month after the PET scan and would show how close a nearby organ was to the lymph node, so that the radiation could be directed correctly. After that, she would wait for radiation treatment. Nilsson wrote that on June 30, she had undergone an over 20-hour-long operation to remove three recurrences, after what she described as a very long wait for an MRI the year before. She criticized how Swedish healthcare was administered and wrote that people were dying while waiting for examinations. She concluded by saying that she intended to go her own way and planned to die in line. #Sjukvård #Cancer #Hälsa (translated)
