MrLiguori Carino was good at listening to my Father and myself when we went to see him for a second opinion on my Dad’s terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis. We were desperate for some support and a small chink of light at the end of a very dark tunnel and Dad needed something to aim for in order to keep him going through the next few gruelling months of treatment. We felt we got a little bit of understanding and support from our consultation without any promises being made but then a subsequent letter sent by Mr Liguori Carino really undid any good that may have been derived from that meeting and my Dad was told there was no point in hoping for any future treatment. I was extremely disappointed that Mr Liguori Carino felt the need to do that and should have addressed the letter to me ( as I paid and booked the consultation) rather than my Dad because I could have spared him from reading the letter and upsetting him even more. I felt it was very insensitive and served no purpose whatsoever. We were well aware of the situation and didn’t need it spelling out in black and white. I expected more consideration from Mr Liguori Carino as I had heard such good things about him. I would advise him to think carefully before sending out such devastating and demoralising letters unnecessarily.
