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!

We MUST do better.”
Quoting Ramy Sedhom’s post:

I worry about the culture in oncology where these patients are seen every 3 months & we ignore their existential/emotional/symptom needs.”
