Truly, you should never EVER take away someone’s hope… it may be all they have.
Yesterday, a patient leaned in close to me and asked if I’d ever known a stage 4 lung cancer patient to “make it.”
So, I leaned in even closer and whispered, “Damn straight I have… i’ve witnessed freakin’ MIRACLES!”
Truth– yes, i’ve known patients that were stage 4 and given 2 -4 months to live who went on to live a full 2 years (active, productive lives) past their “expiration dates.”
Miracles happen… HOPE ROCKS.
