  • Hi everyone! Today's video is a week in my life as a cancer patient, radiation week two. Also included in a healthy grocery haul, exploring Toronto, a mini stationery haul, and lots more. I was able to film one of my radiation sessions so that is also included. I also share my radiation playlist, the songs that I listened to this week and the importance of being kind and considerate. I hope you enjoy this video and make sure to subscribe if you have not already.

    Hi Becky! You have had quite a day! And you are right in saying we don’t know what her day was like.
    Be strong and be brave! You know I have myasthenia too! I get the invisible illness issue. I even find
    that with my chemo now a lot of people are caught up in their own world….and just don’t see it.
    I love your menus! My third chemo is tomorrow too! We can do this!
    Love the green and black scarf!

    • @beckyshields

    Hi Becky: My name is Silvie and I live with my family in Toronto. My son Sam who is now 24 was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at 21. He had chemo at North York General Hospital in Toronto and then a stem cell transplant in Hamilton.. He has been cancer free for two years. He has finished university in Computer Science and just started his full time job in his field. So stay strong and stay positive even when you are having a rough day. Be a badass and continue the fight. Love your phone case!

    Congrats on having over 1000 subscribers, I predict your channel will keep growing👍🏻. Driving is a big deal. I can’t imagine not being able to drive. Nice to have that spot of normalcy.😀 I love the colorful knotted scarf you had on! It’s so cute and funky. Sorry it was a rough day.😢 Good advice on the consideration. We can all do better, and I will keep that in mind.🥰 I like the decor on the phone case, it looks very cool. It makes life interesting when you have projects to do. Keep going, keep busy, stay focused and you will be finished treatment.

    Okay, so I work at a cancer center. We get bombarded left and right by people. I don't know about other healthcare workers but I just want to scream at the end of the day! And I'm a compassionate person! I know you have cancer and everything but we are just human too. Don't forget that. And to add if you meet nice nurses it’s because they get paid way more than any other healthcare worker. So they’re not jaded like we are. Sorry it’s the truth. I’m a medical assistant and we are very under appreciated.

    • @beckyshields
      @beckyshields  3 роки тому

      Yes I do understand that and I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear, and I’m sorry that you feel under appreciated. It was at the apartment building where the incident happened not the hospital and my mom just noticed that she had a staff badge, it was not an attack on healthcare workers I just mentioned that part because I felt she should have known if she worked at one of the hospitals down the street that I was a patient (chemo cap and walker). The same inconsiderate situation happened a few days later on the sidewalk where a girl on a bike my age blocked the sidewalk and only started to move out of the way when the lights changed and she could cross the street. The takeaway was no matter who you are is to just be kind and considerate and yes people are human and make mistakes so that is why I share what I experienced and why I’m sharing my whole story in the first place❤️

    So very sorry about the rude woman in the elevator! Seems like she was an employee if she had a key fob. All the more reason to be more aware! People are in too much of a hurry and stressed out these days. You would think that with the pandemic people would have learned to slow down and pay attention...
    Empathizing with you...I'm disabled..
    have almost been trampled, walked in front of when using the mobility cart in stores etc. My disability is "invisible "...except that my balance isn't good...even happens with a cane or walker.
    Hang in. Prayers continue for you and you are being added to several prayer chains. 🙏💜🙏

      We all get fobs instead of keys so I think she lived there but we think she worked at one of the hospitals so she sees patients like me every day! I’m so sorry you have had to go through all of that it is so terrible and is the reason I share my experiences and advocate for all illnesses especially invisible illnesses so more people are aware and keep that in mind the next time they see someone who may be struggling!

    I'm sorry someone was rude to you hun. Unfortunately the world we live in is horrible and America is not the way it use to be. People are truly ruining the world with their actions and stupidity. If I could I would take a belt and give them all an old fashioned ass whooping. A lot of people don't believe in spanking and that is fine, but my children are the most happy, well grounded, and respectful people you will ever meet. They open doors for people and if someone in a store needs something from a top shelf my youngest son is tall and they usually ask if they can borrow him to help them lol. He does it with a smile. They help elderly people with anything if they need it. They have their faults just as we all do ,but respect goes a long way. 80% of people now are just selfish and stupid. Enough rambling I just got upset about someone being rude to you. You are a very strong young woman and know that God will deal with idiots. Just be you hun and let God do the rest.
