Liz O’Riordan, Breast Surgeon with Breast Cancer and an Advocate for Cancer Awareness, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I have to make a difficult decision.
I don’t know what to do.
The side effects of one of my cancer drugs are seriously ruining my quality of life.
I’m meant to be on this drug for the rest of my life, or until my breast cancer comes back again
I can’t switch to another type of drug, as I’m getting it through the Cancer Drug Fund, and they have strict rules
Just sharing this so people understand the collateral damage of cancer treatment. We may look great on the outside, but inside we’re often struggling. Suffering.
How much do you put up with for a chance to be alive?”
“More Time or More Life?”
