That’s my SO.
First diagnosis in 2001, mastectomy, chemo, “cured”.
Second diagnosis in 2006, chemo, radiation, lymph nodes and part of pectoral muscle removed.
Always asking, reading up, asking follow-up questions.
She has participated in several studies/drug trials now but won’t be part of anything that hasn’t been discussed and she isn’t convinced in.
She’s still in contact with two of the doctors who treated her in 2006. One went into research, the other stayed at the same hospital and is now in a senior position. By now they appreciate the detailed and concise feedback.
Early next year she’ll initiate a discussion about changing her current medication.
I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s also good to hear that she’s done well as her own advocate. And of course, it’s bad to hear that she’s needed to do so.
All the comments on Bluesky:
- women all say yes
- 99.9% of men say no (one guy took her question very literally)
- almost every man felt guilty and/or apologized
You come “off” as condescending , arrogant & elitist.
This man desperately needs a mirror.
He forgot to mention “…and smile more.”
Asshole.
I wonder if the credible fear of violent retaliation keeps other men and femme narcissists from emailing things like this to men or something?
What a rusty tool.
Looks like only the women are getting pay cuts.
I learn by observation.
“humility is highly recommended”
Suggested response: “Fuck off!”.
He doesn’t get to choose the tone of the conversation.
Well then, living in one of the worst states for women by just about every measure PLUS a whole lot of Alzheimers in the family tree, I guess I’m fucked
But you read the threads on Elsewhere, which acts to reverse the process. You should be okay.
Yeah… Same.
