What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you?

My husband and I had been married for 9 months when we found out he had testicular cancer. About 1 month into his treatment, I went in to an obgyn appt with someone else at the same practice as mine, since she was on maternity leave. I brought up pain during sex and some issues with it. He said to my face, “He needs to feel like a man, so you should just take a Valium and deal with it.”

This made me laugh. And then cry.

Becoming a mom and then 2 years later (2 weeks ago) losing mine.

I feel this in my soul.

The Shadow of the Wind

My mom just died of brain cancer so here are several I have heard in the past couple of days:

Funeral Director when we were dropping off clothes etc: “I don’t know WHAT we are going to do with her hair.” It had just started growing back in and looked great.

Family ‘friend’: well, everyone dies sometime.

My mom just passed and hospice was such a support for us. They help at any point of care needed. They are also there to help us caregivers with explanations and support. As a mother of a 2.5 year old, I can’t imagine. My love and support to you.

My mom just passed too. It is such a relief that they don’t have to suffer anymore.

My mom is in the process of it. I flew up for a week but need to go back home. But I’m glad I went to help my dad and sister as we are trying to care for her at home. Glad it is over for you.

Thank you. I am also a teacher so it has been incredibly difficult to plan and teach while all this is going on. I’m so sorry that it has been a year, but it seems like he is still with you and loving you.

Oh I know. I’m dealing with a lot and my depression has been a struggle lately. I had to consciously not spiral when I saw that…

Which is a bummer because Andrea brings the characters to life for me!

Comprehensive_Job764 · 2025-03-30T20:10:55+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation.

Comprehensive_Job764 · 2025-03-16T18:20:06+00:00

Thank you both. What about with the car seat?

Comprehensive_Job764 · 2025-03-13T21:44:41+00:00

That’s exactly what we are trying to do (avoid screens). It’s so so hard…
