CS people, do you think that is appropriate to say to the patient:
"...or it may be result from a more serious disorder such as cancer"
Is it ok to say the word CANCER during the closure?

Appreciate input

dont say it yourself...just say other d/d first and say their are other possibilities as well and yu need to run a couple of tests to be sure what is causing your symptoms...if the patient will ask yu the question then say, it is one of the possibilities but yu are not sure right now and yu will need to run a couple of tests first and yu will get back to him with the results.hope this helped.good luck.
