I saw my daughters middle school play last night and another actress stepped on her lines or so I thought! My daughter actually flubbed and said one of hers too early cutting the other girl off by a sentence. This is how Jamie Tacos start...
I have a friend from work who also has stage IV cancer. We aren't that close anymore, and it's largely because of how he is navigating and dialoguing about his illness. He is going 40% traditional 60% ivermectin, fenbendazole, holistic... That by itself is his journey and business, and I want everyone to feel like they have agency and choice in their treatments.
That being said, he fancies himself an influencer, and the way he talks about our local oncology team is so disrespectful.
They could never handle what hes going through.
They're so ignorant and dismissive of holistic 'miracles.'
They just talk instead of provide solutions.
I can not abide this rhetoric. I owe my life to this oncology team. He has offered to come with me to set them straight when I wasn't feeling well because he feels their more interested in sickness than in health. Needless to say, I politely declined.
I feel guilty being distant (though I dont know that he even notices tbh.) Theres also a small part of me that wonders how honest he's being with his platform. I wonder if I should try and post responses because he gives chemo and local medical teams such a bad name, but I dont know that it wouldn't fall on deaf ears. There's a morbid curiosity that keeps me watching his posts but not feeling very sympathetic, and I feel guilty about that, too. Do I just unfollow and unsubscribe? We would still run into each other at the church we both attend, but maybe hed make me less bonkers in that space if I didn't know how he was being outside of it? Anyone going through something similar?
