Conversation with an Oncologist about Cancer

Doctor: So, what brings you here?

Attendant: Doctor, my father has been diagnosed with abnormal growth of cells in colon, which doctors so far have confirmed as a case of cancer.

Doctor: What tests have you conducted?

Attendant: On the advice of doctors, we conducted blood tests, CT scan, and biopsy. We’ve taken three opinions on the reports and all have opined colorectal cancer. Here are the reports.

(The doctor goes through the reports.)

Doctor: Yes, this looks cancerous. What we’ll do is admit him today itself and get few tests done. And let’s meet tomorrow morning when you’ve the reports of these tests.

Attendant: OK. Thank you.

(The doctor writes his observations on his letterhead and hands it over to the attendant. The attendant then gets the patient admitted and visits the doctor again the next morning with new reports in hand.)

Doctor: The cancer is just one stage before it’ll spread to other parts. In this case, the best course of action is immediate surgery to remove the affected part followed by radiation therapy.

Attendant: How many days of hospitalization will be required?

Doctor: We can perform the surgery day after tomorrow. Thereafter, we’ll keep the patient under observation for 4-5 days. Radiation therapy has become pretty standardized and therefore you can get it done.

Attendant: And for how long the patient will have to undergo radiation therapy?

Doctor: One dose every two weeks for three months. You need to visit the hospital only on days you receive therapy. Once radiation therapy is done, you should consult an oncologist every three months in the beginning and every year later on to check for remission of cancerous cells.

Attendant: OK. I’ve heard radiation therapy has side effects.

Doctor: Yes, radiation therapy has side effects. It can lead to hair loss, nausea, and loss of appetite.

Attendant: Thank you doctor. We’ll get him admitted today.
