Second opinion needed: childhood-onset epilepsy, Soweto
We're asking for a short, free consultation with an oncologist on Bongani's diagnosis.
🇿🇦 South Africa704 views
Bongani was diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy 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 an oncologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Bongani'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.
Thank you so much.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Soweto
thanks for sharing this, Unathi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hang in there, Unathi. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Take care, Unathi. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
