“You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth”

Among so many, a woman patient, after a comprehensive
history and lab, Ultrasound, CT Scan, and Cancer
markers, revealed that together with this journey with
her we found out a very conclusive evidence that she
does have cancer. With very heavy hearts we accepted,
we shall cope, and we will do what we’re supposed
to do. We started with referrals on education on cancer
patho-physiology ( causes and evolution), progression
and spread (metastasis), principles of treatments, its
rationale, the treatments itself and options, community
support, referrals to local oncologists (cancer specialists)
and cancer centers in Texas, UCLA, MT. Sinai, and
other highly refutable ones, with possible exception of
Sloan-Kettering where they give their referring colleague
a run-around and then put them on file and forgotten!

And the all too familiar plea: Doctor, is there anything
else we can do other than what we are doing on my
cancer!!

My cancer, WILDFIRE!!
