The patient? Not even thirty years old.

ReplyDeleteOh I know whereof you speak. I work with very young inflammatory breast cancer patients whose journey is almost always too short. When a 34 year old woman with 3 kids (one with Downs syndrome) says, "this isn't good, is it?" I want to say anything but the truth which is... No this is very bad. Very bad indeed. This is the unglamorous, but very real part of our jobs. Damn.
