Re: Chelee, Thinking About You
Dear Chelee,
I'm so sorry you're still having such struggles with your doctors and nurses. I hope your husband is advocating strongly for you so you can focus on healing. If not, we need to find you someone who will. You shouldn't have to fight so hard when you are so weak. He should have been banging on the cafeteria door or smuggling in some take out or something, not to mention banging on the physical therapist's door!
Try to stay as confident as possible and keep on truckin'. You can do this. Find what strength you have and focus on that. It may be one part of your body, it may be your spirituality or maybe it's HER2 support! Focusing on your sources of strength, and it may help you remain calm and confident.
Love, Celeste
