Good for you!

Thanks for writing about this.

There just isn't enough honest writing about what having cancer is actually like. All of the hopeful gung ho pink ribbon bullshit hides the fact that having cancer is a pain in the ass. (I haven't had it but a close friend did and I did what I could to help her through it.)

It is a struggle from start to finish and often involves advocating for yourself when you have no energy and are in pain and exhausted from the treatments.

Ditching that doctor was a great move -- and it couldn't have been easy.
