    I'm tough and this has been a nightmare. Obtaining healthcare is the worst part. Doctors do not and don't document your symptoms or put the wrong thing or recently totally fabricated a diagnostic which was provenly impossible. They get paid anyway.

    Very few doctors know even about non-hodgkins lymphoma. I have to advocate for everything. I'm waiting months for iron infusion because I'm not absorbing it. It's too much to have to advocate while battling it ...the fatigue, bone pain. constant respiratory issues. Even when my daughter goes with me, questions about a plan of treatment and failure to document symptoms leaves you abandoned. I can not get through to the cancer place and end up having to go in person to refill doxycycline. Still can't find out about iron infusion status because no one answers the phone. It's no wonder you die of cancer in America.

  • @CharlesProoth
    @CharlesProoth 2 місяці тому

    Dr. Ansell recommends asking questions but he fails to realize that, after receiving the bombshell of the diagnosis, you have no idea what questions to ask or even who to ask. Four years later, I am still asking questions and have come to the conclusion that some hematologists don't have good answers.

    I have been living with this disease for 3 years going in 4. As well as lung cancer. Had my lower left lobe of my left lung removed three year's ago. And it came back just did a very low amount of radiation. And i find out this month if it's gone. I have lived a wonderful life. So no complaints there.
