Yes, I know,
What I write about is not "fun" or frivolity right now. But, no I'm not bitter, I'm thankful I came through. Not over yet as I have therapy yet, early January. no chemo for me, that's death if you haven't seen anyone going through it.
Often those who have had chemo will say the treatment is worse than the illness and, having seen it in family, I would never say yes to it. Fortunately my surgeons agree fully. No chemo for me.
This is just me, talking to you. No big do this or do that. Just be aware where you are heading and do what you can to avoid the worst as you'll tend to write it off. UNTIL YOU FACE IT.
I just want to point out some real issues I had to face. For instance I had to INSIST on being released when I FELT I WAS READY. THE DOCS WOULD HAVE KEPT ME LONGER. BUT THEY CANNOT. THAT WOULD BE KIDNAPPING.
Of course there is a clinical line where their judgement rules but when I pointed out that I could be deliberately ignored by night staff due to resource cutting they saw the logic and agreed I'd be better off at home with family than suffering the "Shut up." night staff who ignore your call for help.
Stick up for YOU, first, always.
