'You either have it or you don't': RichardCrouse on keeping the faith in cancer care
the hydrogen sulfide gas that causes the pungent smell in rotten eggs and flatulence can do battle with a variety of diseases, including cancer. If that is true, it's unlikely my hospital roommate will ever contract cancer. It was too late for me, but I'm happy to have played a preventative role in keeping him healthy via my recuperative farts.In truth very little of the material sent to you is worth a look.
My mother had it. She was sick and must have known that one day cancer would kill her, but she fought for years to keep it at bay. Near the end, when it was evitable, when it was a matter of days, maybe hours, she held on longer than anyone expected. She lasted because she was hopeful, because she willed herself. The time had come for her suffering to end, she knew and so did we, but she had the power to close out her life on her terms. That day was the saddest I have ever been, but in a way I was relieved for her. She had lived despite the odds against her. She persevered because she had hope, was optimistic that there would be small wins along the way.
At this stage in the process loads of information comes tumbling at you like scary clowns out of a tiny circus car. Big words and terrifying technical terms spill off doctor's lips. I understood ninety per cent of it and silently nodded my way through the bits I didn't get, figuring I'd be able to discern from tone and body language what was crucial to my health and what wasn't.
