Chemo getting near

[Kwiskwos]

So my mother's 2nd RT PCR came out positive. Part of me is happy because we cam finally move forward and start her treatment and part of me is devastated for the same reason. I am talking to her onco and i pleaded him to give us a bit of discount since time has been tough. And he immediately told me if i want him to refer us to charity hospital so that we wont have to pay the doctor. I dont know but it sounds rude to me. My mother is an old patient of his (and his wife). We never missed and appointment and now this. Maybe i'm being too sensitive because of what we are going through. Anyways, i decided to just push through her treatment with the same onco because it's near our house, atleast my mother will not get tired commuting. I am praying that everything will go well for my her.

Hi there. Not sure where you are but your comment about having to pay for treatment just made me feel so indignant for you and your poor Mum. Of course you must choose whatever suits best but it just seems that you have so much to contend with already! It’s good that she is going to get treatment though... I hope it goes very well xx

Thanks for the support lyndy. Hopefully all these heartaches will be worth it once my mother gets better with the treatment.

How rude !!!

He’s had his pound of flesh and now offers you the option of charity, how dare he,

I would have been very angry too, especially being a long term patient.

I’m sure he could of been a bit more sensitive.

Some of them could do well from a diplomatic / sympathetic approach course.

No, you are not being sensitive you are fragile and very concerned for your Mum and that’s understandable.

Try not to be too upset.

To them it’s just another day in the office!

Great news Mums treatment can finally get going, so onwards and upwards.

Wishing you both well

I'm sooooooo glad that i'm not just being too unreasonable and too sensitive. I will do anything for my mother to get better and not someone like him can stop me. My mother's doing well, by the way. I dont want to upset her with all of these so i'm releasing all the tension here. That's why I'm forever grateful for all your replies.

[LesleyGB in reply to Kwiskwos]

Youi are not being unreasonable at all. The man behaved appallingly and showed no sensitivity at all at what is a difficult and worrying time for you and your family.

I hope the treatment goes well and your mum makes a good recovery.

Unleash the tension as much as you like - it's good for you!
