As an aspiring doctor, I like watching these videos to hear patient’s stories, so I can better empathize with my future patients, Allah willing. Allison, you are so brave, and I admire your tenacity in advocating for yourself. I pray for good health and happiness for you.
This gal is sensational. Very articulate about a v v difficult diagnosis and treatment process. Those facing this should listen to this. She delivers facts and feelings with knowledge and bravery.
What an articulate, kind person you are to share all your details and tips and to be an advocate now to help others. I'm so glad you are back to health and I wish you a most wonderful life ahead of you. Thank you and love to you and your parents. They love you so much and were so there for you in your times of need. Such an informative interview!
Here in the UK our first call is to our GP ( primary care) who gets in touch with the cancer unit at the local hospital. It seems a bit of an ordeal to have to find your own oncologist.
Lol, I just checked my FB when her phone pinged. Must have been a right slap in the face to find out you had bowel cancer when you were putting so much effort in to stay well... 😕
@@blueberry4082 Making fun of a cancer patients' wig is not only not funny it is despicable. Would you like to change places with her? You are young...
@@johnreidy2804 didn’t make fun of her. You’re too sensitive I guess. And I’m not that young. If you are a patient survivor, you must be stronger. The universe tests us with tough exams
The interviewer looks green . Private health care system seems brutal , so glad we don’t have to find a surgeon or specialist. Thanks for sharing your journey ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

Thank you for taking the time to invest in understanding the patient voice! -Stephanie
You'd be the first doctor that I ever knew of that had any empathy

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way!

This helped me. Thank you.
It warms my heart so much to hear this. Thank you for the message. -Stephanie
I'm going through this right now. It's really hard for me to even tell people about my situation.
thank you for sharing this story! I recently found out I have diagnosed with stage 3 cc. Allison would like to reach out to you.

How are you now?

It is a confusing not to have professionals take charge but we can have freedom to choose who is giving guidance. Choices
@@davidgardner1675You can still choose a consultant/hospital of your choosing if you want to in the UK as well.
@@davidgardner1675You can choose a different consultant/hospital if you want to in the UK,it's the law now.

It's a story we hear too often :\.
Are you wearing a wig? I'm about to have this surgery and chemo and a iliostomy bag. When did you lose your hair?
They call it “twilight sleep”
A stoma looks like a little pink rose, Jan, RN.
Her wig is funny
Inappropriate comment
@@johnreidy2804funny is inappropriate?
@@blueberry4082 Given what this woman has been through your comment is crude, hurtful and inappropriate.
Want to trade places with her Sport?
