I was thinking that this must be your one year anniversary and so I logged in to see how you were doing. I was hoping that you would feel well enough to come to a dinner meeting with us Occ Docs at the Hawthorne Inn last weekend. Good lecture. Understood that you will have to participate in what you can, and you have every right to not participate in anything that you don't feel well enough to do or just don't feel like doing it. If you remember Bartelby the Scribner who "preferred not to". It seems we are constantly doing things for other poeple, you have the right to do things for yourself. I hate to read about all the chemotherapy side effects that you are having, but I can't believe your presenteeism at work. The drive alone could wear you down. It is great that they seem to be letting you work PRN, but the schedule you have made for yourself does appear to be difficult, so I hope that you aren't pushing yourself too much. I appreciate your straight forward honesty with your treatment and decision to have control and not do procedures that you feel are futile. I was told as an intern that I had a "bad attitude" on internal medicine because I said such things in 1981. Good for you. Add life to years, not just years to life. Be happy.
