having gone through all this I would have advocated for mama pat differently. understanding my own body, which is connected to hers genetically, I would have stood up and not just be the baby sister going with the leadership but step in.
you dont know what you dont know.
mama did a form of cardiac rehab. and as I do mine, I would have made her have rehab all the time. kept moving.
I would have been more vocal about her tumor situation.
hindsight is 2020.
all my gal pals are doctors, but mama got sick 11 years ago. we as a group didnt know what we know now.
but would I advise people who are taking care of a parent or grandparent reach out to folks like us who have those stripes or if you have friends who are social workers or health care professionals...
