Wishful-Thinking

4. Best wishes for a good outcome

Suggestions from the experience:
Take a notepad and write things down.
Stop the doctor to ask for spelling and clarification.
Ask for a description of options including likely outcomes and percentages
I found it helpful to have someone with me to help recall details
Do your own research with the info at hand
It’s confusing but there are very good outcomes even if you hear the worst news.
If you’re clear this time, change your ways to eat less sugar and more vegetables, less canned and boxed, and bagged foods and more fresh!

Best of luck!!!
