Away from topic but I read Survivorship and smiled as the TV show Survivor is on at present oh and a surprise winner
My Mum died as a result of cancer
Metastasis lung and bladder. Double whammy smoking and working in a cotton mill. She was treated with the utmost respect by her medicos and us her family.
As to vulnerability that isn't my frailty but I appreciate for some that it is. For me I found acceptance early and that became my strength.
As to shame I'm unable to fathom that feeling
I'm proud of how I have got through.
I do hopr you all find strength and for those that are struggling please seek an ear professional or otherwise. The forum is a great help and we're all in it together. There are some champions on here past their 5 or 6 year mark willing to help us all along
Take care
