Second opinion needed: poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, Yonkers
An oncologist willing to review Ruby's reports could help the family decide on treatment for poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.
Anywhere in the world807 views
Ruby was diagnosed with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in December. The local team has recommended a long course of medication. 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 Ruby'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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Harper. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
take care, Harper. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Yonkers
