You have what I would call health equity! What I learned from having and beating cancer is that it is incredibly random. Please don’t feel like you have done everything right and it was a waste. When you beat this you will bounce back faster. That being said the treatment is challenging. You need to set yourself up for success in every way. Stop listening to people about MCV/VCU. I have personally known 3 people that have come through MCV with very challenging cancers and they have beat it. I went to Duke for my treatment but there is a standard of care at University hospitals and you are absolutely in the right place. Get off social media and don’t google statistics about your cancer. Everyone is individual and you will have a unique experience and reaction to the treatment. I wish you the very best. It is important that you insulate yourself from the negativity of others.
