Dear @Emelia8
Be safe. Take time out. Go for a snack or have a rest. I have had to struggle with varying driving capability over the last 20 years. It is hard, and a lot more difficult to tell with medical conditions, than the easier alcohol readings, where we all know that a little bit over can be a hazard.
I know you come from tough stock that prides itself on not complaining. Sometimes it can be good to have to do for others so we push ourselves beyond perceived limits. Yes there are some things which we can do the stiff upper lip for, but radiation, chemo and cancer are not in that ball park.
Just Hugs and sending Caring for you vibes.
When I realised that bottom line I was a danger on the road and it was a danger to others not about my strength or weakness I got clearer, about my driving decisions. Give yourself the dignity of managing your health issues well. You have done enough for that hubster. You deserve the best.
Love you Bella
Hey @Mellysmellyelly @Eve7 @Maggie
@Sans911 Your post was distressing, but very real issue, with medical awareness and awareness of the limits of the system. People in it need to be more aware of the limits they provide.
Cheers All
EMERGENCY HUG @Emelia8 re "sitting in your car alone, shaking, feeling awful after treatment, crying, scared ..." Oh Em, I wish we could all be sitting in the car with you giving you hugs and soothing hot Coco or something. It's not fair that you're on you're own for these sessions. I know there's several ppl on the forums that would gladly give up a day to be YOUR support person through these appointments 🌷🌷🌷
