just a bug

071910


Some days I feel as insignificant as a small bug. That I'm easily overlooked or completely unseen. It's all about the cancer cells, not about the person me. It's my job to make sure doctors see that I am still me, a person with hopes and dreams. Quality of life is not just a term, the quality of my life is important to me.

    Not even a bug is insignificant. Certainly not you. I understand, though, how you could feel that way given the circumstances you describe. Beautiful picture, as always.

    Some doctors have a tendency to treat patients as specimens instead of as people, so yes, you do have to make sure they see the real you because in no way are you insignificant!!

    Yes, it is sad that you have to make them see that sometimes, but you do. And that is a very cool bug.

    Stunning image!
    I've never had cancer but I can certainly relate to sometimes feeling insignificant.

    I think seeing the person and not just their condition is one skill that some doctors never master ... but the best ones always do.
