Thank you dear Shelley. This is exactly where I am. I know full well the need to advocate for my own cancer care. Once again I am reminded that other nurses and physicians don't follow my thought processes when addressing problems. I always take a concern to the end with thoughtful and intentional conversation along the way. Yesterday while at the Cancer Center receiving extra fluids I tried my best to teach a nurse to take additional steps and reach out to the doctor. I am not sure what stopped her, maybe fear. But in the end I had to make the decision to hold the next chemo until further discussion. My body was telling me it was not tolerating what was given last Tuesday.
It is so like you to continue to teach and help others. What fills my heart is that you honor your inner wisdom transmitted through your body for the serious decisions you are facing. As a gifted teacher and highly sensitive person, you know that there is education—and then there's "knowing." Sending healing love and light to surround you, dear friend.
