I got hit a few days ago..
Tomorrow, I am back up to the hospital for scans.
We know, from the past 20 months... I have ascites that has shown up on various imaging.
Secondary complications, from the tumor progressing. Pockets of fluid that collect around, and in-between organs, that surround the tumor.
What Covid-19 brought to patients... is the ability to e-visit 24-hours with oncology specialists, who are on call with your group. The ability to call your connecting hospital and even stat urgent testing. Even calling in ahead of time, mediations.
Any patient, who is already battling and ends up adding secondary complications. Or... in my case, pneumonia from those who fail to be proactive around patients. Wearing a mask when sick.
Oncology patients with progressive cancer, tumors that were not successfully put into remission by oncology treatments, are 10 times more susceptible to catching airborne germs.
If you think any patient, has no rights to already be... and feel absolutely miserable enough, dealing with the symptoms and complications from a tumor/tumors/lesions.
If you think any patient, doesn't have the absolute rights to express and show feelings...
ALL FEELINGS.
You are absolutely WRONG.
Any parent, parents who fail to place their child or children FIRST. Young or adult child/children first, during and after diagnosis... including during and after oncology treatments. Is not a parent or parents and failed as such.
Anyone, who is battling alone. Without family. Please know you my friend, are not alone.
There are many online support groups, that will fill in those who are absent during your journey.
It's perfectly OK and absolutely normal to FEEL every single emotion, that comes your way during your journey.
It would be more absurd to say... you don't feel.
We as patients, all feel.
We struggle and the road is not paved easily for us. The roads ahead... are sadly, unknown. Day to day, how you will feel... are certainly, unknown.
We, as patients... live in the moment. We, as patients... live day by day.
If you, as a parent, tell me on the phone to get rid of those that never faltered... stayed 💯 by my side, during my oncology journey...
During your unexcusable absence.
If you tell me, to get rid of those 76% in the United States, that also consider a part of their own family. Those as well, that are not walking the oncology journey. I am talking about a parent, telling me on the phone, more than a handful of times and documented, to get rid of my family members, my pets. That were there for me, no matter what. During years of human beings, totem pole, complete absence.
If you put me in a position... by saying such, hatred words. Time and time and time and time again. My decision will be automatic. My decision is actually, quite easy. You automatically make my decision easy by such statements, time and time and time and time again.
I choose time and time and time and time again... those family members of mine, who faithfully remained by my side.
My pets... My unwavering, loving part of my family.
The same, as the other 76% of households in the United States. That also consider their pets, a permanent part of their family.
