Wishing you a speedy recovery and ask the surgical team for the patch to put behind your ear, so you're not nauseous afterwards

Very good, practical advice! Touched onto a pet peeve of mine. That's being informed and shown what to expect. So often you get this patronizing, condescending B.S. that leaves you to find things out the hard way. After all their the cancer experts. Yet they act as if they know nothing. They should educate their patients. Be honest with them and show respect. Help them prepare for whats coming their way. Please!!!!

@LovelyLauren83 Месяц назад

I thought it was just me that felt this way

@juaquiene7726 Месяц назад

@@LovelyLauren83 No Lovely. Your not. Am sure their be an army of us that feel the same way. They don't get you can hear the condescending, patronizing tone in their voices.

Thank you for sharing your feelings-it’s a valid and unfortunately common concern. Being fully informed and prepared by your healthcare team is not just helpful, it’s your right as a patient. It’s crucial for medical professionals to provide clear, straightforward information and to approach patient care with empathy and respect. Your voice and preferences are important aspects of your treatment journey. We have seen patients who have little formal understanding have a great deal of understanding about cancer and its treatment. People are resourceful and naturally inclined towards understanding when the information is given to them in an understandable way. Thank you for being part of our community.

Thank you Dr Driggs for all your informative videos. I hope you can shed some light on how to overcome anxiety every time a cancer patient or survivor goes for a scan like MRI. Scanxiety? After all, scans will become a norm moving forward. Appreciate your insights and advice pls.

Thank you for your kind words and for bringing up such an important topic. "Scanxiety," or anxiety around scan appointments, is a common experience for many cancer patients and survivors. Staying informed about what to expect during each scan and discussing your feelings with your healthcare team or a support group can help alleviate anxiety. Keeping a routine or bringing a friend for support during your appointments might also provide comfort.

What is the general time between surgery and follow up appointment? Thx!

@yerbba 16 дней назад

Typically, the first follow-up is scheduled within a few weeks after surgery to assess healing and discuss further treatment if needed. Thank you for watching!
