As in the middle of chemotherapy I had a bleeding that almost killed me
I had to be quarantined while my white cells were 0 and red cells were declining quickly
I had a nurse looking after me who was very curious about my symptoms before my diagnosis
I could feel she was suffering in silent
And was dealing with things not going right in her body
When I told her that I didnโt have time to have a colonoscopy done
Because my surgery was an emergency one
She asked me
๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ?
I told her

I asked her

She nodded

She was adamant that it was easier not to face her problem and not to go to the doctors
She was adamant that it was better not to know

She told me she was too scared because she ate too unhealthily
She ate too much sugarโฆ
Her husband had diabetesโฆ
She couldnโt face CHANGE
I told herโฆ
First things first
Go to your doctor and get yourself checkโฆ
Donโt assume anything that you donโt knowโฆ
But you have to face thisโฆ
Hiding from it is not the solutionโฆ
This nurse saw people dying day in day out
The cancer ward is not for the faint hearted
She still chose

Change is challenging
And whoever tells you is not
It is not speaking the truth
Change requires so much courage
Resilience
Effort
It is a roller coaster of ups and down
But so many people choose to stay where they are
Because they make themselves believe that staying where they are
It is easier
