I wish I could undo a few events that contributed to my isolation.The things people have said and continue to say . I have turned a few over to the care of My higher power that they recieve forgiveness and love peace and joy.

Being in a whirlwind of different appointments and different Drs can wear you out and can be confusing. Try to write down your concerns and questions before you go to see a Dr, and have him/her go down the list.


Good suggestion January. My Therapist has been helpful with this very thing, since I have ADHD we work on writing down My questions I have and is been helpful Shes very resorceful . She used to be a libraian and taught how to research subjects on the internet and has offered to wade through some of the info on my cancer.

I've done a bit more

(Chromium chemo is really not an option. Sorry. thats my first response. )

Im very fortunate to have my therapist in my life right now . She visted me in the hospital . ( She wore black in honour of the death of my repo organs...

LOL. LOL.LOL) The flowers were beautiful
Some very great things are happening in this womens center I'm seen in.

( about writing this down)

I also ask people to write something down for me on occation or spell it for me on the phone more than I used to . Some times I forget to ask because the conversation moves so quickly and have to call them back .

As far as so many doctors. I'm in a teaching hospital January . Which in part is why they have a sliing scale for patients who do not have insurance. They have a gazzillion patients . Waiting room is always full . And one has to take whos available . That means not always seeing the same doctor . unless one waits a month to be seen.
and I can't do that right now.

I beieve there were about twenty patients in various stages of cancer on my intitial visit waiting to see thier surgeon.

I'm very very grateful for the care I have gotten and am getting.

I saw the worn look in My GP's eyes. weary is a better word.

I think doctors are the right arm of God , I could not do what they are doing ,
