Second opinion needed: a recurrent disc herniation, Bogotá
A neurologist willing to review Irene's reports could help the family decide on treatment for a recurrent disc herniation.

Irene was diagnosed with a recurrent disc herniation in July. The local team has recommended an experimental drug. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if a neurologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Irene's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Alberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
praying for you. Shared this with my family. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
keep going, Alberto. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Good luck, Alberto. Hope this works out for you.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
