Talk to a doctor. Not probable the facility is a cause; but stranger things have happened
2 :
if it's the hospital's fault, they're to blame

I would do some research on the patients in that facility! If any of them other than your mom and neighbor have developed colon cancer while in there! I would have the city Dept. of Health inspect that facility and find out why and how they happened to develop it! Im sorry about your mom> Hope and Wish the Best!!!

People get cancer. Since no one knows the cause of any particular type of cancer, there is no way you can link your mother's cancer with the hospital she's in.
5 :
Your mom may have already had colon cancer when she went into the hospital. I was told that it takes several years to even be noticeable, I don't know if thats true or not.
6 :
How about cherish your mom for the time she has left. People get cancer, it happens, trying to sniff out a lawsuit over it makes me disgusted. It is people like you that clog the courts with BS suits and raise the cost of health care for all.
7 :
There isn't much that you can do. Unless you can prove that the facility is the cause of the cancer. You would have to prove that if she had been at home,she wouldn't have gotten the cancer. The nature of colon cancer unfortunately,is that alot of times it isn't detectable until it is advanced. I am sorry about your mother.

You didn't specified how old is your mother. So you are thinking of suing the hospital for your mother colon cancer? Cancer is not a contagious or communicable disease that by sticking around people with cancer you can absorbed their disease. Everybody is susceptible to cancer, either colon or other cancer now adays. How can you prove that the hospital has something to do with the cancer? It is like proving that a science fiction novel is true. The only thing clear now is that your mother needs all the attention, care and giving right now not tomorrow or the next following month but right now. Why still thinking of profiting from some theory that your mom has cancer because of the hospital. You will let your mom rot in there while you pursue a different course of action by suing the hospital. You are just kidding yourself here. Give it up. Just love your mom because if not for her you probably wouldn't be here on earth anyway. It is just a coincidence that the neighbor of your mom develop cancer of the same type but doesn't have any connection whatsoever to each other. Unless you got scientific proof of everything but if none forget your relentless quest and just love your mom and cherished the remaining years she will spent here on earth. You do not know what to do? Love will show the way to you. Unless you have it, nothing will ever be clear for you.
