I felt affirmed for the first time
reading your honesty as it’s how I feel
especially the waiting and the machines. And the cost -
tests ordered all the time.

I am using a lot of “curse words” 😆 in my head and out loud, and growing increasing impatient with the people who operate the machines and those at the reception desk and all the clutter and paperwork and nonsense and the fact that not one of the “we’re here for you” people are in the least bit interested in how I am
doing. They are just probably a bit miffed I’m not a lot more grateful to them. Which I am not grateful. They are getting paid.
I am starting 4 weeks of radiation therapy next week but not consulted about why this and why this long. breast cancer videos are
full of oncologists etc talking utter bull shit about choice, consultation, etc etc. if just once one of the specialists I have seen offered me options I’d fall over.
The machines terrify me, like I never knew, like shitting my pants terror.
i am not scared of anything or Inthought so. Not snakes or spiders or clear air turbulence or public speaking or the major earthquake and bushfire I survived, but wow, who knew the big machines would terrify the living daylights out of me?
they can’t be made nice and nobody cares so I’ll just be thinking vile thoughts and words in my head and barely civil to the people putting me through it. Who aren’t very nice.
- thats my coping strategy
The private health system is causing me to haemorrhage money out every orifice despite 30 years of health insurance.
i would use the public system
next time. Why pay for crap treatment? What an idiot I have been.
