It is our job to do everything we can to help with our treatment. If rehab is available, do it. Nothing is better to help heal a body than healthy food and exercise. Cut out alcohol. Cut out sweets and focus of fueling the body with the best possible fuel. Organic is good. Smaller meals are the best.
It is also our job to follow the medical progress of our treatment. Know the numbers of our tests. Know when we had what treatments. Ask for blood test results to be sent to us. We are the drivers of our treatment.
When we take charge, the doctors sit up and notice. The various doctors are more interested in my case because of everything I am doing to help myself. I grinned again over a week ago when the doctors in the liver clinic said, “We can’t ask anymore of you than what you are already doing.”
Can your doctors say the same for you?
Be the rare patient who is doing everything you can do give your body the best chance of healing itself. It may add a few years of a good quality of life to your future.
