Hell on Earth

I find it hard to confront the medics with their thoughtless remarks which they make a lot. Most of them are not trained how to be emotionally equipped around patients I find in general the Docs are brilliant cancer docs but apart from my surgeon and oncologist most docs suffer from the lack of emotional intelligence training.

The reason why I find it hard to confront in the moment is that the cancer can render you to a very vulnerable state. I do want to be more authentic in the moment so watch this space....will do it with compassion and love.

The wait for results is like a hell on earth I decided to put my thoughts on it on to paper and I wrote a great piece challenging the wait. It was really cathartic to do it and I was really proud of the way I was able to be open with my feelings yet at the same time keep in mind the frustrations and limitations the NHS staff work under.
