Jill Feldman: The emotional effects of being told you have a terminal illness, but should be excited/grateful treatment may keep you alive for 3 yrs isn’t even recognized!
Quoting Jill Feldman, shared a post by Ramy Sedhom on X/Twitter, adding:
“The emotional effects of being told you have a terminal illness, but should be excited/grateful treatment may keep you alive for 3 yrs isn’t even recognized!
Talk about mental f*ck! And subjective toxicity reporting dismisses our experience & reality of AE’s.
We MUST do better.”
Quoting Ramy Sedhom’s post:
“We forget median OS for EGFR mutated lung cancer is ~3 years, >40% with grade III adverse events.
I worry about the culture in oncology where these patients are seen every 3 months & we ignore their existential/emotional/symptom needs.”
