Today was our first experience of chemo from a patient’s perspective and also wearing the cold cap in an attempt to preserve a part of myself. Cold cap- ok- nowhere near as bad as I feared. Headache yes but manageable. Paclitaxel was not pleasant but the whole experience was made immensely challenging by the lack of empathy I encountered and the obstacles put in my way about having my husband present for future sessions. This is not a government policy and is not the same across all hospitals. I believe something needs to change. The patient’s needs should be put first and not the needs of the staff. Please watch and like and share our video and advocate for patient centred, holistic care.
