Cancer impacts on everybody in different ways
We hear that sentence every time we go to the doctor. It’s the answer to most questions I ask.
What are the most frequent side effects of this treatment? Everybody’s different.
Can’t you tell me how long most people stay on this treatment? Everybody’s different.
Which treatments work best? Everybody’s different.
If someone enters the same limbo world as me, how long do they stay there? Everybody’s different.
How long do most people live? Everybody’s different.
I do understand that EVERYBODY’S different, but aren’t there some generalities? Similarities? Most-often case scenarios? Seriously, how hard would it be to provide some guidelines or ideas of what I can expect?
Maybe other patients don’t keep asking these questions. Maybe I’m seeking answers to questions no one can answer. Maybe I’m driving doctors crazy asking for answers they don’t know.
I know people have different needs for knowledge about their disease and treatment so……I guess that’s just another example of how everybody’s different. ARG!
Or the answer “As we get older”

Kathy I think of you so often and keep coming back to the day we ran into each other at Froedert. Felt empty not knowing what to say. Yet on one hand knowing it’s kind of what people feel when they see Kevin and I . This post really touched me cause I to wanted answers too not “everyone’s different”. But now have found we are blessed in our own journeys good and bad. We too believe in the power of pray so know you are in my prays for a blessed journey. Hugs to you Kathy
