The doctor suggested another surgical operation for the treatment and my mother operated 2nd time on 25th Aug 2013 at same hospital. After the report we get doctor suggested that every thing is fine and give some prescription(tablet prescribed - tamoxifin) .we asked the doctor for chemotherapy but he said there is no need of chemotherapy just had regular check up and every thing would be fine. On 31st march got pain in stomach when we took test the doctor confirmed that she has stage 4 liver cancer. After that I visited all top cancer hospitals like Rajeev Gandhi , Medanta, ILBS, Shanti Mukund.when I told them about case history they all said that she must be given chemotherapy at that time. And also the prescribed tablet i.e. tamoxifin should be advice on some blood test which was never conducted. They said now we can only make there pain less. Unfortunately she died on 17th may. It is clearly the case of negligence. Please advice how should I proceed to get justice.
