I loved this! Hannah speaks to something I have wrestled with a lot during my treatment - the expectation that healthcare providers have all the answers.
They are smart and dedicated, but also exhausted and living in a world that’s changing so fast. So self advocacy and having advocates in your corner is essential. I have advocated for myself to such a degree that I was labeled intense by a member of my medical team. So be it.
Such an interesting point, Elizabeth. I found myself going the opposite way, staying quiet when I should have pushed back or questioned certain decisions more. I’m starting to find my voice little by little. It’s sobering realizing doctors don’t in fact have all the answers. Here’s to being more intense!
Yes! As women it’s very difficult to make that choice because people don’t like women to be intense. We get punished for it. So we opt for nice instead.
Hannah this is so beautiful. You are so courageous to share so others may learn from you. Peace
