Patient advocacy: "When a person develops serious illness there is so much to consider beyond what the doctor recommends regarding treatment - issues of family, work, insurance, disability, transportation and more can quickly become overwhelming, making a difficult situation appear insurmountable. But it doesn't have to be that way - working with well-trained, well-informed patient advocates can help people navigate the maze of health-related issues in a way that supports peace, balance, and the opportunity for optimal healing to take place." This book will help you become your own patient advocate.
DEAR RANDY AND SHELLY, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS. I LOST MY SON 6 YEARS AGO AT CHRISTMAS. HE WAS 11 YEARS OLD AND HE HAD AML.HE WAS ONLY SICK 9 MONTHS FROM THE TIME WE FOUND OUT TO THE TIME I HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION TO TAKE HIM OFF THE VENT. IT IS SO HARD TO LOSE THEM BUT IT IS SO HARD TO WATCH THEM SUFFER. I SEND MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOU AND KNOW HE WAS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU BOTH AS PARENTS. MAY GOD WRAP HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU AND HELP YOU THROUGH EVERYDAY. IN CHRISTIAN LOVE, LINDA CAMPOS
