I think today has been my worst day, not the diagnosis, not the confirmation of everything not  the lack of communication, not even feeling like I wasn’t treated well in an echocardiogram. But haven’t got up early  prepared and organised as I’m caring for three adults in my house with one hour to go to my picc line appointment, and chemo tomorrow cancellation. I’m not one to be public with my feelings, but I am very sad and I’m very upset. It isn’t just the word cancellation. It’s all the effect it has on everybody. I have no faith  anymore. I may just be an NHS number, but I have feelings and feel really helpless as I can’t do anything about it. I wish I was mega rich and could afford private care. I may feel safe then. X 

  • Hello

    so sorry to hear about your day. I have had many days like that and it’s hard to explain all the emotions you are experiencing. 
    I went private last year about a stomach issue and didn’t fare much better.

    the whole world has been turned upside down by COVID and unfortunately the NHS is stretched to the limit. I get that, but it’s the lack of empathy and kindness that gets me.

    i have assigned myself as my major care giver and I feel much more in control now.

    sending strength vibes and hugs your way x
